How to book a space using ORB

During COVID-19 you can book a desk to work at, this is to enable us to monitor capacity for safety and to help with NHS Track and Trace.

Select the type of workspace you want to book and click "Book".

Step 4 - Acknowlege booking restrctions

In this example the resctrictions allow you to book up to 21 days in advanced of the current date, and up to 5 times in ever 5 days (i.e. once per day), restrictions may vary to manage demand or for safety reasons such as COVID quarantining between users.

The asset will be greyed out at times that aren't available such as holidays, weekends and outside of hours, and in some cases with show x/y which is that there are x number of spaces out of a total of y. For example 3/5 means there are 3 spaces avilable out of a total of 5 spaces of this type.

Step 7 - Finalise booking
