I use room management. I want the person working at the front desk to manage the actual reservations. Monday.com solutions are really successful, but I want to be more successful once I enter the system.
Can anyone give advice on this?
Hey Ali!
Perhaps the section in this guide about using the Workload Widget for managing meeting rooms and bookings could be helpful!
Here’s an excerpt:
The Workload View is not only good for allocating human resources, but is really effective for physical resources as well! We use a Status Column called “Meeting Room” to record the meeting room we are booking in order to work on each of our tasks.
Rather than viewing each task according to the team member assigned to it, we can view all of our tasks according to the meeting room we are using! To set this up, we’ve chosen our “Meeting Room” Status Column as our “Resource Type”.
Because the company needs the meeting rooms for other purposes throughout the week, our rebranding project has a limited amount of weekly hours we can use the rooms for, so we need to be strategic about how we utilize them! We’re measuring effort by counting the number of hours each room is booked per week, and have set a weekly capacity of 2 hours per week for each meeting room.
We can see when we’ve overbooked the rooms and when there are scheduling conflicts so that we can reallocate our resources according to their availability!

I hope this helps!
Hi @alicabbar, You might want to try the MasterPlan Calendar app.
It allows you to display your items as “rooms” with start and end dates and times, featuring color-coding based on status or people column values. You can also display several columns, such as people, location, links, text, and numbers. Additionally, it lets you connect multiple boards in a dashboard widget view.
I believe it could be a perfect solution for managing room availability.
