Compound reservation units
A compound reservation unit is formed by combining multiple reservation units (space, asset, flexible workspace units). The combination typically has a main reservation unit and one or more sub reservation units. The main and sub reservation units are linked together and once a reservation is created on a main reservation unit, all the related sub reservation units are also reserved for that period. For example, a room that can be split into two separate rooms using a removable wall.
The following combinations of space/asset/flexible workspace units are possible for creating compound reservation units:
A main space unit with space/asset/flexible workspaces as subs
A main flexible workspace with asset units as subs
Example
Meeting room Mozart is the main reservation unit, Mozart 1 and Mozart 2 are its subs.

When the main reservation unit Mozart is reserved, "ghost" reservations are automatically created for the subs Mozart 1 and Mozart 2. When Mozart 1 is reserved, the main unit Mozart will also be reserved, since Mozart 1 is part of Mozart. The same applies when Mozart 2 is reserved. The main reservation is indicated in blue and the "ghost" reservation in gray.
