The Efficient End Times setting makes ad hoc meetings end on or just before the hour or half-hour. People who schedule ahead then find availability at common meeting times.
This setting affects only ad hoc events booked from the Room Display. When the setting is on, users see meeting durations rounded to the nearest 5 minutes. Robin bases them on the time available before the next 30 minute interval or the next event.
For example, at 1:33pm, people at the room display see these meeting durations: 25 min, 55 min and 85 min. The space is then free again for others at 2:00pm, 2:30pm or 3:00 pm.
This helps improve room use and reduces "dead" time in meeting rooms.
