FAQ for former Deskbookers Partners

  • Where do I login and manage my venue?
    After the migration, logging in and managing your new profile will all be possible via Deskbookers.com with your current email and password. Before the migration please go to  https://deskbookers.spacebase.com/   The old management environment (Partners.deskbookers.com) will remain accessible after the migration for several months, for example to view old bookings, but adjustments to this environment will not be reflected on the new site. 

Please note that Deskbookers.Spacebase is currently a beta and “provider-only” view and not visible to bookers yet.  Once the site goes live we will inform you about this and the url will be changed to the regular “deskbookers.com/...”
