What to include in your community facility booking

  • Keep the facility in context

    Keep facility, event purpose, requested slot, capacity review, approval and confirmation together so the next person can understand the request or record.

  • When the next step needs a decision

    Two groups request the same community hall. Preserve both requests and require the booking owner's explicit confirmation before either becomes final.

  • Keep confirmation visible

    Keep a requested time provisional until the facility owner records approval.

  • Choose what each person needs

    Give the booking coordinator a working view and the facility manager a review view. Keep facility and event purpose attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
