Enable Repeat Bookings

Clicking the Repeat Booking button from the Dashboard generates a 'Repeat Booking' pop up pre-loaded with the Service, Resource, and Date/Time information from the existing booking selected. You can also automate the repetition of the selected booking at regular intervals into the future from the 'Repeat Booking' pop up window.

Enable Shared Resources

Enabling Shared Resources allows a Shared Resource to be created in the Resources page of the Configuration tab. 

A Shared Resource is a Resource that is commonly used by other Resources in order to perform a Service and cannot be used by those performing the Service simulataneous. Shared Resources are typically a piece of Equipment or capital in nature.

For example, a Golf Club may have a single Golf Simulator machine that many staff a the Club use for specific Golf-related services, e.g., fitting of clubs. 

If a Shared Resource is booked for a Service, then other customers cannot make a booking for any other Service that requires use of the same Shared Resource at that time.

Enable Events

Enabling Events allows business to create a limited-time set of sessions at fixed, specific times. 

This is as opposed to the standard Services that the business offers that are offered indefinitely and at variable times.

Examples of Events may include one-off workshops, golf clinics, multi-part driving courses, or school holiday programs.
