Enter in a numerical digit and select 'Days', 'Weeks' or 'Months' from the drop down to create a restriction for meeting room bookings in the future.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Meeting room check in</mark>

This setting is used to allow users to check into their meeting room booking to confirm their booking.
