Refuse a second booking on a taken room

Offision will not let two bookings occupy the same room at the same time — that is the most basic thing Booking does, before hours or slot grids.

How double-booking prevention works

Once a room is a resource in Booking, saving a second booking on the same time is refused. That check is not a policy you switch on — it is the most basic thing Booking does. Hours, holidays and slot grids sit on top; they do not replace it. Outlook and Google meetings that land on a taken room are declined the same way.

Common questions

No. A bookable resource already refuses a second booking on a taken slot. Overlap rules on a policy only decide whether one person may hold two bookings at once — they do not turn the room conflict check off.

Bookings ignore the timetable

Two groups still arrive at the same door — and people still book at 9:07, on a holiday, or after lock-up — because a free diary accepts a taken slot, and the estate's real hours live in someone's head.

Put open hours on the schedule the room carries

Offision closes the booking form when the schedule says the building is closed — so late slots do not land after lock-up.

Close public holidays on the same schedule

Offision closes holiday dates on the booking schedule, so the diary does not treat a closed day as a weekday.

Force starts onto a fixed step

Offision replaces the free timeline with a slot list when a schedule enforces fixed start steps — so 9:07 is not a bookable start.

Use suggested times only where the grid is optional

Offision suggested times are hints. Where starts must align, use fixed steps instead — the two are alternatives.
