Problems you recognise Rooms and desks
Meetings default to 30- and 60-minute blocks starting on the hour, so demand piles into a few slots while the half-hours either side stay empty — and everyone thinks the building is full.
User resource usage in Booking Analytics builds a pivot grid — put Hour of day or Date in columns and Room in rows to see when demand stacks on the hour. Booked hours count scheduled length; compare floors and room sizes before assuming you need more space. A spike at 10:00 with quiet 10:30 slots usually means scheduling habit, not missing rooms.
Sometimes it is. Utilization by room, hour and size tells you whether you are short of rooms or short of visibility — measure before you spend on more space.
Demand is not spread evenly across the day, and your booking tool is probably not helping people find the alternatives that already exist.
