General
Employees can find quickly available meeting spaces and create a booking from Optimaze Worksense. More information about Worksense’s booking features are listed on the next page.
Optimaze Worksense in itself does not have booking features. It uses Microsoft O365 Graph APIs to view, create, and edit your organizations’ calendars according to users’ actions. You can find more information about the Graph API here.
Technically all bookings made from Optimze Worksense are created by the room’s O365 M365 account which is being booked. The room is the organizer and invites the user and possible other participants to the calendar booking.With

EG Worksense has access to all calendars in your organization’s M365 account with the ‘Read and write calendars in all mailboxes’ |
