Determines how a user can make a reservation in EMS Web App.

• Request – Everyday Users can complete an online form requesting a room. Unlike the Self Serve mode, this mode does not provide options for the Everyday User to view real-time room availability. Also, requests must be reviewed, approved, and manually processed into actual reservations by an EMS Desktop Client user. The room is not removed from inventory until this step has occurred.
• Self Serve – Registered Everyday Users can view real-time room availability (in list or grid views) and create actual reservations in the EMS database. Rooms can be booked in a confirmed or request status based on your configuration and business process.

You must select this option if the Everyday Users who are attached to this Everyday User Process Template must be able to request rooms with a video conferencing feature.

• Service Only Request – Allows Everyday Users to request a service (for example, catering, A/V equipment, and so on) for a location that is not managed in EMS.
