Flexible Reservations

When a reservation is marked flexible, it is basically showing that the person who reserved it may be willing to give the item in question (room or other resource) to another person. When you view an item in "Day View Mode" on the calendar, all flexible reservation will be green. They will also have a link at the bottom which will take you to a form which will allow you to email the reserver to request that they give the room up.

*Using Flexible Reservations

To mark a reservation "flexible" all you need to do is select "Flexible" from the Reservation Type list when reserving an item. You need not do anything else.

*What if I change my mind and I don't want a reservation to be flexible?

To unmark a reservation as flexible simply modify the reservation and change its Reservation Type. The reservation will no longer show up as green.

*What if I no longer need this resource?

Like with all other reservations we ask that if you no longer need a resource you reserved, please remove the reservation so it will be freed up for other people to use.

*Caveats
  • A flexible reservation does NOT obligate someone to relinquish the resource.
