Book a Room Template

I installed the template and have made some changes to adapt it to what I need, now I have no experience using power app but it is important for me that we can see the meetings scheduled by room, currently you only see the reservation made by the user, that is, each user sees his reservation but I would like that all users could see all reservations made in the room.

    Thanks for explaining your scenario — it sounds like you're using a Power Apps template for room reservations, and you'd like to modify it so that all users can see all reservations for a room, not just their own.

    This is a common requirement, and it can be addressed with a few changes in your Power App and data source.


    Here's how you can approach it:

    1. Check the Data Source

    Make sure your reservations are stored in a central data source like:

    • SharePoint list
    • Dataverse table
    • Excel file in OneDrive or SharePoint

    Each reservation should include:

    • Room name or ID
    • Start and end time
    • Reserved by (user)
    • Any other relevant metadata

    2. Modify the Gallery or Calendar View

    In Power Apps, the gallery or calendar that displays reservations is likely filtered like this:

    Filter(Reservations, ReservedBy = User().Email)

    To show all reservations, simply remove or adjust the filter:

    Filter(Reservations, Room = SelectedRoom)

    Or if you want to show all rooms and all reservations:

    Reservations

    3. Add a Room Filter (Optional)

    To make it user-friendly, you can add a dropdown or combo box to select a room:

    Distinct(Reservations, Room)

    Then filter the gallery based on the selected room:

    Filter(Reservations, Room = RoomDropdown.Selected.Value)

    4. Permissions

    Ensure that all users have read access to the data source so they can view all reservations.

    Jon thank you very much for your answer, actually I am using the template for the reservation of meeting rooms in the company, for this created in the exchange resources as rooms and each has an associated email account, the activity of scheduling the room is carried normally, the user gets an email from the room making the reservation, this works without problem.

    Now in the template there is an option where the user sees his reservation, my intention is that all the reservations for that room are shown there, in this moment each user can only see his reservation, what I want is that everyone can see the reservations made to those rooms in any day, I hope to have explained better.

    Thank you for confirming! A couple of years ago I've used the Book a room template, I created a log list in SharePoint and set up a flow in the app to create a log entry in SharePoint whenever a room was booked (Passing the Room name, time from, time to, and the user name). I also linked this SharePoint list to the app for viewing. I'm not sure if there are simpler solutions available now, such as using the Graph API or other connectors, but if you want me to share my steps in details, please let me know.
