Limitations

My bookings tab is limited to the page size in your set up (the default is normally 10 entries per page).
My bookings tab is limited to the first 5,000 entries for all your bookings and populates the pages based on the search parameters you selected.
All the bookings displayed in the Table view and List view are upcoming bookings only.
You can only edit, end early, or cancel 1 booking at a time unless the booking is part of a series of bookings where you have the option to make changes to 1 booking or all of them.
You can edit a booking when it has started or ended. Once a meeting has started, the start time can only be changed to the current time or later. For example, you booked a desk for 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM today and you want to change the start time to 2:00 PM. It’s currently 2:05 PM. You can only change the start time to 2:05 PM or later and not for 2:00 PM as that’s already been. If the booking end time has elapsed, the booking times can’t be changed.
Bookings that were ended early will not appear in any view of My bookings because the screen is for upcoming bookings only. The new end time will be reflected in the All bookings screen.
The system can’t allow a booking to be cancelled once it’s started – only end it early if the booking end time hasn’t elapsed.
