Place 'Book for Someone Else' checkbox at very top of screen
We are a law firm and our secretaries are always making bookings on behalf of their attorney(s) they support. Currently the checkbox is towards the bottom of the screen. Setting the 'Booking on behalf of' AFTER all other parameters are set can cause the parameters to reset, thus resulting in incorrect location, date, group, etc. Can this checkbox be at the very top of the page so it is the first thing a user should think about before setting all other parameters?

Currently in the "Book a personal space" feature, the "Booking for someone else?" area (checkbox and search box) is placed BELOW the booking calendar.
This leads to the behaviour that when booking for someone else, users usually first select a group, then a date and then check the box to book for someone else to enter the affected user's details. However after selecting the user, the previously selected date is discarded (as the screen reloads, e.g. to apply the permissions of the selected user) and must be selected again.
From user experience perspective, it would be more sensible to put the "Booking for someone else?" area ABOVE the calendar, so that the user first selects the group / floor, than the affected user (if applicable) and only then the date.
This way, the user does not have to re-select a date after selecting a user.

We would prefer also to have "Booking for someone else" option more on the top of the screen "Book a personal space" to avoid "jumps" on the screen during usage on this option. Best position would be between search fields and calendar.
