The purpose of this section is to provide a space to document questions about Momentus, whether it be about what the software can do or troubleshooting steps. I also highly encourage checking the Momentus Support Center forums for question you might have regarding issues or the platform as well. I’ve found quite a few helpful threads with relating to issues either Admins have brought to me or things I have encountered myself.

Momentus FAQ
General Access and Configuration
Can any web browser be used to access Momentus?
It technically can be, however it works best for Google or Safari. When it comes to add-ins for some reporting for back office, only Google will support the extensions needed.
Am I able to set up logic-driven questions (UDFs) for our OSB?
At this time, Momentus is not able to set up logic driven questions, however they will be implementing dynamic questions with the rollout of the new UI for their OSB portals in 2025.
Can event or booking reports be automatically sent out to certain individuals?
Currently there is a limited functionality when it comes to automatic reporting. Advanced permissions are able to pull some reports in the Event Management and Coordination / Reports section of Momentus. Some examples are Bookings by Booking Start Date and Space Bookings by Day.
I added a space to my OSB but why will it not show up in the reservation portal?
The two main items to ensure a space will show up on the OSB will be to check and make sure it is on the OSB you are testing, and verifying there is both a min/max capacity assigned to the space. If the space was recently added to the OSB, clearing your cache or giving the platform a few minutes to refresh might also clear up the issue.
Can I assign two different incoming event or booking statuses to an OSB?
OSBs are either reservable or requestable by nature. Momentus doesn’t not allow for different incoming statuses on a single OSB.
Can events be automatically cancelled by the requestor (if enabled in the My Events page) rather than requested?
While the user can cancel the booking, unfortunately events must have someone come in and cancel them manually (through the Event Cancellations section). We have provided this as feedback to Momentus, especially when it comes to spaces that are reservable.
I want to update my Organization’s Logo, for reports, etc. How can I change it?
You can update the logo by going to the Organization section in Momentus Under the System Administration, and changing the image for your Org. This article from the support center details some of the best pixel ratios.
I created an event in back-office for a user, but it is not showing up in the user’s My Events list. Is there a way to associate it?
If you have created an event for a user in the back-office, you can assign an OSB so they user can see it as well as make changes (if you have that enabled in your OSB configuration). Remember, all events that are submit through the portals the users have access to will automatically assign the OSB. You can add the OSB Configuration column to your view to get a quick glance of what has been assigned and where.
Start by navigating to the Event and right-click the event and select Tools then Assign to OSB. The system doesn’t allow for editing multiple when it comes to assigning the OSB.

Once the user refreshes, they should now see it populate in the My Events.

Statuses
What are the different statuses for Events and Service Orders? Is there a difference for usage?
Below you will see a table providing some form of definition for the both Event and Service Order statuses. It is up to the Org to determine what statuses their users should be applying, since workflows change from CSU to CSU.
