Introduction
Enabling meeting room bookings is a crucial part of running a coworking space and OfficeRnD enables you to provide your members with options to select a meeting room and book it for a one-time, or a recurring meeting. To provide your members with a list of available meeting rooms, you need to create and define the properties of each room.
Prerequisites
- Verify a resource rate, that defines the charges for the meeting room, is created. Learn how to create a resource rate.
