Allow Extend Booking (available for Updates 32 and higher)	Scenarios: If this parameter is set to... Standard Bookings – the Extend button will be displayed for bookings that are not calendar-enabled or created on a VC template and that are not configured with setup and teardown times. Selecting Extend will extend the booking time by the number of minutes configured in EMS Room Sign App settings (typically 15 minutes). Standard + Bookings with Setup and Teardown – Extend button will be displayed for standard bookings with or without setup and teardown times. Selecting Extend will extend the meeting time and the teardown time by the number of minutes the meeting was extended. Standard + Calendar-Enabled and VC Bookings – Extend button will be displayed for all standard bookings and all calendar-enabled bookings or bookings created on a VC template; however, the Extend button will not be displayed for bookings with setup and teardown times. For calendar-enabled bookings, selecting the button will only affect the current location, not other booking locations tied to the reservation. For bookings created on a VC template, selecting the button will extend the meeting in the current location regardless of the Host. The Exchange or Google appointment will not be updated upon extend. All Bookings – Extend button will be displayed for all booking types. Selecting Extend will extend the meeting time, and the teardown time if applicable, by the number of minutes configured in EMS Room Sign App settings (typically 15 minutes).

For Multi Location PAM bookings, there is no parameter to control this behavior; therefore, editing one booking will update all other locations. VC Exchange Bookings – clicking End Now will end the meeting in the current location regardless of the Host. Setup/Teardown – clicking End Now will move the teardown time to the current time. No notifications will be triggered by this change.	No (No End Now button will display) Standard Bookings (Default) Calendar Integrated and VC Bookings* (also includes Standard Bookings).
