    Key Features

    • Max days in future setting: Administrators set this to restrict how many days ahead users can reserve resources. If set (e.g., 45 days), users cannot select dates beyond this limit and will see a warning if they try.
    • Multi-day reservation support: Users can create reservations that span multiple consecutive days, and even select spaces across multiple buildings.
    • Recurring reservation control: The end date and time for recurring reservations must respect the configured max days in future and depend on the recurrence pattern (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
    • Role-based bypass: Space and reservation planners with the snwsdrsv.bypassmodulevalidation role can override these limits, allowing more flexible reservation management.

    Key Outcomes

    • Administrators gain precise control over how far in advance users can book spaces, helping manage availability and planning.
    • Users can efficiently book multi-day and multi-building reservations within the allowed timeframe, improving resource utilization.
    • Planners with elevated roles can bypass restrictions as needed, ensuring operational flexibility.
    • The system prevents users from selecting invalid dates, reducing errors and support requests related to reservations outside allowed ranges.

    Set the Max days in future value for configuring reservation.

    The option to create a multi-day reservation is configured by your administrator using the Max days for multi-day Reservable Module Configuration property. For more information, see Configure a reservable module. Multi-building selection is supported for multi-day reservation. For more information about multi-day reservation, see Create a multi-day reservation.

    For multi-day reservation covering multiple days, the start date and end date span across multiple days (for example, Start date: October 12, 2023. End date: October 17, 2023). For more information, see Create a multi-day reservation.

    • If your administrator has set a limit on the maximum days that you can reserve in future, you can’t select days in the future beyond the set the date by the admin. A warning is displayed about the limitation.
    • For example, if your administrator has limited the days of future to 45 days, you can’t select a date beyond 45 days while making a recurring reservation. The number of days available for End on this date option differs based on the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly selections. The end date and time specified for recurring reservation are used to indicate the end date and time of the reservation.
    • If no such limitation is set by your administrator on the future days in the Reservable module, you can select any date. This also depends on how many occurrences you can select and make.
      Note:
      You can't select a date beyond a duration that is configured in the Max days in the future reservable module. For example, if Max days in future value are 45, you can’t select a date beyond this duration while making a recurring reservation. The number of days available for End on this date option differs based on the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly selections. If the Max days in future value isn’t configured on the Reservable module, the date selection isn’t restricted and employees can select a date based on the Max number of occurrences configuration.

    Space and reservation planners (sn_wsd_rsv.reservation_planner) with the dedicated role (sn_wsd_rsv.bypass_module_validation) can ignore or bypass certain settings in the Reservable module configuration. For more information, see Allow Event planners to handle reservations with more flexibility.

    For example, reservation planners or space planners with the dedicated role (sn_wsd_rsv.bypass_module_validation) can ignore or bypass the following settings in the Reservable module:
    • Max days in the future
    • Max number of occurrence
    • Min and Max duration
    • Available in
