# Location Bookings Overview

> Reserve rooms and spaces for meetings, events, and activities

Location bookings in Relyant let staff reserve rooms and spaces — classrooms, meeting rooms, gyms, labs, or any other bookable location. The booking system handles scheduling, conflict detection, and optional approval workflows.
