Earlier this week Mike Herrity released his Ebook on the work we have been doing on SharePoint over the last three years this is available from Mike’s blog here . One of the features that Mike wrote about is the Room Booking Web Part so I thought that I would go into some more details about it. It is a very simple solution that saves the need to set up complicated calendar options with recurring events or even having to send emails to a member of staff to book rooms. This solution also works on SharePoint 2010 and MOSS 2007 so a winner for now and the future.
The end user is simply presented with a calendar style interface with either “Book me” for free slots if someone has already booked a slot this just shows the initials of the user and the class name. To book a free slot just click on the book me and the user is presented with a two field form to fill in and then just a book room button to confirm their booking as illustrated below.
Update
I have also managed to secure a £200 or $300 discount on the SharePoint Room Booking System for readers of the blog. Simply contact admin@sharepointforschools.co.uk for further details on pricing and quote the code “spedutech” to get the discount.
