			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised here is a sneek peek at OP SmartDesk Room Booking or Resource Manager.</p>
<p>You can have an unlimited number of resources i.e. Rooms, equipment or anything else you may loan out or have a requirement for it to be booked.</p>
<p>Time slots are broken down into 10 minute sections and each booking can be colour coded for easy viewing.  The main viewing area can also be filtered via a dropdown selector which will then hide all other bookings apart from the requested resource.</p>
<p>A high level of validation logic has been put in place so that the following rules are oberved:</p>
<ol>
<li>If a booking has been started it cannot be amended</li>
<li>Bookings cannot overlap each other</li>
<li>When moving a booking it cannot be moved into the past</li>
<li>Staff can only edit thier own bookings</li>
<li>Bookings cannot be made within 30 mins of the start time</li>
</ol>
<p>Bookings can be bulk added either from .csv or by using the custom database query tool in the admin area or you can add single bookings simply by highlighting the required amount of time and then double clicking the selection.  The booking is made &#8211; simple <img src='http://www.opsoftware.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Have a look at some of the screenshots below.</p>
