# Location bookings overview

> Reserve rooms and spaces, and track every booking in one place

Location bookings let you reserve rooms and other spaces, such as classrooms, meeting rooms, halls, and labs. Relyant checks each request against existing bookings and your booking rules, and can hold new bookings for approval.

To open location bookings, go to the sidebar and, under **Modules**, click **Location Booking**, then click **Bookings**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only locations marked as bookable can be reserved. Your administrator sets booking rules, such as allowed days and hours, approval, and buffer times, in [location booking settings](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/settings/location-booking-settings.md).

## Booking statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Submitted** | The booking is waiting for approval. |
| **Approved** | The booking is confirmed and the room is reserved. |
| **Rejected** | An approver turned down the booking. The rejection reason shows on the booking. |
| **Cancelled** | The booking was cancelled. |

Approved bookings also have a progress state, which you can filter by with **Progress**:

| Progress | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Scheduled** | The booking hasn't started yet. |
| **In Progress** | The booking is happening now. |
| **Completed** | The booking has ended. |

## Views

Switch between views at the top of the page.

| View | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Calendar** | Bookings on a calendar. Choose **Day**, **Week**, **Month**, or **Schedule**. In the day view, drag across a time slot to start a booking. |
| **List** | A table of bookings that you can search by reference or purpose. |
| **Locations** | Every bookable room. Filter rooms by **Availability** (**Available** or **Occupied**), or click a room to open its weekly calendar. |
| **Board** | Bookings as cards in columns. |

## Find bookings

Use the filters above the bookings to narrow the list:

* **Status** and **Progress**
* **Type** — **Normal** or **Recurring**
* **Created By** — bookings requested by specific people
* **Assignee** — bookings assigned to specific people. Select your own name to see the bookings you're responsible for.
* **Location**
* **Booking Date** and **Requested Date**

> [!NOTE]
>
> Location bookings don't have an **Assigned to Me** tab. Use the **Assignee** filter instead. [Asset bookings](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/bookings/asset-bookings/overview.md) do have the tab.

To share a read-only view of your bookings with people outside Relyant, click **Share**. See [Shared booking calendars](https://docs.relyant.app/integrations/calendar-feeds.md).

## Who can do what

These are the default permissions for each role.

| Role | Permissions |
| - | - |
| **Owner**, **Admin**, **Super Admin** | Create, view, edit, approve, and cancel any booking. Create recurring bookings. |
| **Member** | Create and view bookings. Edit their own bookings while they're **Submitted**. Cancel their own bookings. |
| **Requester** | Create and view bookings. Edit their own bookings while they're **Submitted**. Cancel their own bookings. |

Members and requesters can also submit recurring bookings for approval when **Allow Recurring Bookings for Requesters** is on in [location booking settings](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/settings/location-booking-settings.md#booking-rules).
