Configure Building Hours

Use building hours to define when buildings and rooms are available for reservations.

Configured building hours can restrict reservations or display warnings, depending on your EMS application and configuration. In some EMS applications, users can create reservations outside building hours but receive a warning. In others, users cannot create reservations outside the configured hours. Setup and teardown times must also fall within building hours when required.

By default, new buildings use Open All Day, which makes the building available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You can configure a building to:

• Remain open during specific hours.

• Remain open for a specific date or date range.

• Remain closed for an entire day.

You can apply building hours to one building or multiple buildings at the same time.

1. Navigate to Configuration > Facilities > Building Hours.

2. In Date, select the date you want to update.

3. Select a building.

   To select multiple buildings, hold Ctrl and select each building.

4. Select Change.

   If you selected multiple buildings, EMS displays the hours for the last building selected.

5. Choose one of the following options:

   Set Building Hours

   • Specify an Open Time and Close Time for the selected date.

   • Depending on your EMS application and configuration, users may be able to create reservations outside these hours and receive a warning, or EMS may prevent reservations outside the configured hours.

   Closed All Day

   • Close the building for the entire day.

   • When you select this option, Web Only becomes available.

   • If Web Only is cleared, no users can create reservations in the selected buildings on that date.

   • If Web Only is selected, only Web App users can create reservations on that date.

   Open All Day

   • Keep the building open for the entire day.

6. Select OK.
