Reporting dashboards that show how often rooms, desks and assets are actually being used — identifying underutilised space, peak demand periods and the resources that are chronically over-requested. Data for space planning, procurement and facilities management decisions.

• Utilisation rate per resource: % of available time booked
• Peak hour and day analysis per room or asset

• No-show rate (booked but no check-in) per room
• Trend over time: growing or declining demand per resource

• Approval, rejection and request-for-modification actions

• Recurring patterns: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly
• End date or number-of-occurrences configuration
• Exception handling: skip a specific date in a recurring series
• Series edit: change all future occurrences in one action
• Conflict resolution when a recurring slot is blocked for one date
