Detailed Features of the "Room Management, Reservation, and Planning" Module

1. Register Available Spaces

The module allows you to list all your available meeting or training rooms in Dolibarr. For each room, you can enter detailed information, such as:

  • Room name.
  • Dimensions (area).
  • Photos of the space.
  • Person in charge of the room or space management.

This feature gives you a comprehensive view of your resources, helping you optimize their use.

2. Manage Reservations by Date and Time

With this module, you can easily register all reservations by entering the start and end dates and times. This flexibility ensures precise scheduling for each room, minimizing the risk of overlaps or booking errors.

3. Monitor Room Availability

The status of each room can be managed directly through the module. A room can be marked as:

  • Available.
  • Unavailable.
  • Booked for a specific date.

This feature provides an instant overview of space availability, allowing quick decision-making.

4. Reservation Approval Workflow

The module includes a reservation status management workflow to track the status of booking requests:

  • Draft: The reservation is pending approval.
  • Approved: The booking has been validated by the approver.
  • Rejected: The request has been denied.

This workflow ensures that only approved reservations are confirmed, avoiding misunderstandings among users.

5. Kanban Views for Clearer Organization

One of the key innovations of the module is the inclusion of two Kanban views:

  • Kanban View for Room Management: Instantly see the status of each room (available, booked, or unavailable).
  • Kanban View for Reservations: Easily track ongoing reservations, pending approvals, or rejections, organized by status.

These Kanban views provide visual clarity, improving the efficiency of teams handling reservations.

6. Generate PDF Receipts for Bookings

For every confirmed reservation, the module allows you to generate a PDF receipt. This feature enables you to:

  • Print receipts for handouts or display.
  • Send receipts via email to participants or managers.
  • Archive receipts for administrative purposes.

This makes your reservation process more professional and well-organized.
