Calendar Approvals
The Approvals page is where administrators review and act on pending room and resource booking requests, as well as calendar events that require approval before being published.
Before You Begin
- Configure rooms or resources with an Approval Group in Rooms & Resources
- You need the Calendars Admin permission or the content.edit permission
Opening Approvals
In B1 Admin, go to Calendars and select Approvals. Pending booking requests and events awaiting review are listed here.
Booking Requests
When a group creates an event and requests a room or resource, the request appears in the Booking Requests panel. Each row shows:
- The room or resource being requested
- The event name and date/time
- The requesting group
Conflict Indicators
If two requests overlap for the same room or resource, a conflict warning icon appears. Review conflicting requests carefully before approving either one.
Approving or Rejecting
Click the ✓ (approve) or ✗ (reject) icon on any booking request. The requesting group is notified of the decision. Approved bookings are locked to that room or resource for the event; rejected bookings free the slot for others.
Pending Events
If your calendar workflow requires event approval before events become visible to the public, pending events appear in the Pending Events panel. Approve an event to publish it to the calendar, or reject it to notify the submitter that changes are needed.
Set up an Approval Group on a room in Rooms & Resources to require approval for that room. Groups with access can then request the room when creating events, and those requests flow into this page.
