Desk Booking & Reservation Power Apps Template 07-14-2020 07:02 AM

I showcase my Desk Reservation system template built in Power Apps. This is a mobile based app that lets you book a desk and/or office space and keep track of your reservations.

This template could be used for many different scenarios like:

🖥 Reserving Desks for Social Distancing

🏢 Reserving Conference Room

🏫 Booking appointments with a professor

💇 Salon appointments and Many more!

Hi April,

Thank you for a thorough review and providing the template. I'm very excited to adapt your work into a equipment reservation and checkout system for our Children's hospital!

One question I have that I am hoping you could help point me in the right direction. How to allow multiple selections of items into one reservation.

Thank you,

Cory Wiley-Godoi

Hi Cory, Excited to hear that you are adapting this template for your Children's Hospital!

To allow multiple selections you will have to make a few tweaks.  In the "desks" screen I'm setting the selected desk to the selected item in the checkbox oncheck property.  What you will need to do is change that to a collection instead of a variable so that each time you check an item it adds that to a collection of selected items.  You can then take that and patch it to your data source.

Hi @aprildunnam

Nice little app.  I downloaded the templates form GitHub but found a few issues.

In the provisioning there is a mismatch between column names and the column names ion the creation of the default view 2.

This column name mismatch also carries through to the app itself.

I got the desk booking bit all working but couldn’t get the upcoming bookings / appointments working despite reviewing and updating the column names.

I am also wondering what the active column in the desks list is for and how one would go about using that to show just the active desks (say with a value of 1 rather than 0).

Looking to utilise this in a university setting potentially.

thanks

Hi April,

This video is very useful. Thank you for all details provided!

You asked for ideas for future videos, I'm looking for a very simple hardware tracking app.

Reserved date; item name, user name; returned date

The DS can be a SharePoint list; images can also be in SP. Ability to reserve multiple items.

Thank you

@aprildunnam Is there a way so the user can only select one checkbox? I can't seem to work out how to stop them selecting more than one desk?

Thanks for the template, we are using it for hospital desk bookings too 🙂

Hello,

I am trying to work on this at our factory to help with our teams, desk layout - and unfortunately, I am unable to import the items into the Solutions section of our Power Automate, and I get this error - 

The solution file is invalid. The compressed file must contain the following files at its root: solution.xml, customizations.xml, and [Content_Types].xml. Customization files exported from previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 are not supported.

Might I ask if there is a newer version, or how can I convert this to work in the latest version of Power Automate  Thank you kindly for your time with this query.

Kind regards,

Guillermo
