How to Use Book Room to Create a Request

Mazévo has a new tool that allows requesters to quickly see room availability and book a room for a single date.

Overview

Mazévo's Book Room tool lets users see room availability for a single building and date. From the availability display, the user selects the 30-minute time blocks they'd like to request and then provides any additional event details, such as the event name and required resources, along with answers to the event questions required to complete the request.
