Add Workspace Management / Room Scheduler to allow users to reserve office spaces and schedule events

Help schools more efficiently allocate resources, reduce scheduling conflicts, and improve overall operations. Here are some key features that would be particularly useful:

1. Room & Resource Scheduling

  • Real-time Room Availability – View and book available classrooms, labs, or meeting spaces.

  • Multi-Resource Booking – Reserve projectors, whiteboards, or other equipment along with rooms.

  • Conflict Detection & Resolution – Automatically flag and prevent double bookings.

  • Floor Plans - Upload floor plans and visually manage room bookings. This feature allows schools to create an interactive map-based booking system, making it easier for users to see room availability, locations, and layouts.

2. Integration & Accessibility

  • Calendar Integration – Sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, or SIS scheduling tools.

  • Mobile & Web Access – Enable on-the-go room booking via mobile or web apps.

  • Kiosk & Digital Signage Support – Display room schedules outside classrooms or common areas.

3. Smart Space Utilization & Reporting

  • Utilization Analytics – Track room usage patterns and optimize space allocation.

  • No-Show Tracking – Free up rooms if reservations are not checked in.

  • Automated Reminders & Notifications – Send alerts for upcoming reservations or cancellations.

4. User Management & Permissions

  • Role-Based Access Control – Set different permissions for administrators, teachers, and students.

  • Approval Workflow – Require administrative approval for specific room bookings.

  • Guest & External User Booking – Allow visitors to reserve spaces with restrictions.

5. Automation & Smart Features

  • AI-Powered Scheduling – Suggest optimal room assignments based on preferences and availability.

  • Self-Service Check-In/Check-Out – Use QR codes or RFID for automated attendance tracking.

  • Automated Room Release – Free up rooms when users don’t check in within a set timeframe.
