during our test runs we noticed a major usability inconvenience. When a user books a managed room, the room status is set to <provisional> and the user has to wait for the room confirmation by the room admin.
Each time, a user enters modifications, eg. number of attendees, names of external attendees, catering requests, equipment requests, etc, the room status is reset to <provisional>.
This is a major inconvenience for the following reasons:
- additional work for room admins with no added value
- e-mail spam for the same booking procedure for the organizer and/or host of the meeting
- while adding the modifications, the room reservation is off the grid and another user could request that same room
- each time the room confirmation is reset to<provisional>, the prior service requests - eg. catering, equipment, visitors - are completely deleted from the vendor site and only reappear after the room has been confirmed by the room admin.
