Requirement: When user add meeting schedule and select meeting room, system must send mail to housekeeper department for setting style of room (Classroom, Style-O, Style-U).
Does anyone have any idea for achieve this requirement ?
How can I add style of room in Meeting Room Resource document?
Subject: Meeting Rooms (Style of room, Classroom, Style-O, Style-U)
As far as I’m aware this particular enhancement hasn’t yet been added to the default room booking functionality despite the considerable changes to how this operates in Notes 6.x and again in Notes 7.
It’s something that people often want, along with the similar capability to associate rooms that can be split or combined.
Because the Resource Reservations database design is open, it’s something you could in theory code yourself. Realistically, you’d need to be pretty skilled to get this working reliably.
You can read about the structure of resource booking in Domino 7 here
and you can find out how to add some simpler enhancements to an earlier (R5) version of R&R here:
If your resource capacity doesn’t change based on format, then the changes should be OK for a decent Domino developer.
You’d need to think about changing the following:
Add a field to the room and reservation forms in the R&R database.
Change (or at least examine) the way pending reservations are approved (the process is different in R5, 6.x and 7)
Work out how to present your room styles to users who book rooms through the calendar and scheduling features in mail files.
Change (or at least examine) the send invitations script in the mail template.
Harder problems would be rooms with changing capacity, and rooms whose availability depends on existing bookings for other rooms (e.g. Big Room is the same as Small Room 1 + Small Room 2, but with a divider retracted).
The difference for these is that you need to manipulate the entries in the free time database.
I’d be very interested to know any progress you make on this!
