Error message

Why has this happened?

What to do

Error message. Advanced booking rules for Meeting Rooms should have a different period with the furthest out at top and the nearest at the bottom.

A lower priority group was given more time in advance than a higher priority group.

a higher priority team was given 10 days in advance when a lower priority team was given 11 days in advance, causing the error.


You need to either:

  • Change the number of days, weeks, or months of either group rule so that the higher priority group has more time in advance.

  • Change the days, weeks, or months using the drop-down list of either group rule so that the higher priority group has more time in advance.
