Setting up reservation space groups

A reservation space group combines two or more individual spaces to make one larger space, which can have a greater capacity than the individual spaces. To create a reservation space group, you specify the reservable spaces that are part of the reservation space group.

About this task

The following information applies to reservation space groups:
  • Reservation space groups can be used only for single reservations, not for series reservations.
  • Reservation space groups can be used only for reservations that are created in IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities, not for reservations that are created in Microsoft Outlook.
  • Reservation space groups are not available in IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher.
  • The spaces that are included in a reservation space group are called dependent spaces.
  • When a reservation space group is booked for a reservation, the dependent spaces are also booked. The dependent spaces are managed by Maximo Real Estate and Facilities and are not visible to the person who makes the reservation.
  • When a space that belongs to a reservation space group is booked, all of the reservation space groups that the space belongs to are also booked. The additional bookings are managed by IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities and are not visible to the person who makes the reservation.
  • Reservation space groups are not included in utilization metrics.
  • After reservation space groups are created, they can be managed in the Location hierarchy or in the Reservation Space Groups form.
