Meeting Room Booking Delegate Information

When users submit requests to book meeting rooms, requests are generally accepted and processed automatically when there are no conflicts. In cases where conflicts exist, the Booking Delegate can be sent an email notification so that he or she can examine the demand for the room and assist those requesting the room.

How does the Booking Delegate know which request was submitted first?

In the conflict notification message, the appointment that was requested first and accepted is shown with a solid vertical border on its left side. The conflicting appointment has a diagonally striped border on its left side, which indicates it as tentative instead of accepted. 

The message also provides the names of the accounts requesting the resource so the Booking Delegate can follow up as needed.
