# Booking window The booking window settings determine when users can make resource bookings. More specifically: * how many days in advance? * how many days into the future? * at what time? Here’s an example based on a user who wants to make a booking for a room on `6 December 2023 at 1pm`. | Booking window settings | Booking must be made | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------- | | At least 3 days in advance | Before 3 December 2023, 1pm | | At most 5 days into the future | After 1 December 2023, 1pm | | Between 9am and 5pm | Between 9am and 5pm | In this case, the user will only be able to make the bookings during these time periods: * 1 December 2023, 1pm to 5pm * 2 December 2023: 9am to 5pm * 3 December 2023: 9am to 1pm \ To understand which settings will apply when a user makes a booking, read [Identifying active settings](/knowledge-base/agency-settings/booking-settings.md#identifying-active-settings). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
