Activity/Facility Scheduling : General setup : Pod booking products : Specify product as pod booking product
 
Specify product as pod booking product
 
To specify the product as a pod booking product:
1. On the Action tab click Begin Pod Booking.
2. Click the Action Specifics button and the Lessons To Book dialog is displayed.
3. On the General tab, the Description defaults to the nicknames for the Department, Category and Item. This description may be edited.
 
Note: This description represents this product in the schedule and prints on the voucher for the guest. You may want this description to be different from the Item description for the booking product because the product description may contain information that is cryptic to the customer or to the booking operator. It is best to keep this description short so the most meaning is conveyed on the booking bar in the schedule.
 
4. Use the dropdown menu to select a Lesson Type (created in Entering lesson types) to this product.
5. Enter the Span (minutes) of time of the booking.
 
Note: Lessons default to this length and cannot be less than the span entered here. If Allow adjustment by dragging is checked, bookings can be dragged to exceed this length when booked.
 
6. Check Allow adjustment by dragging if you want the operator to be able to alter the booking span during booking.
 
Note: If you do not click this box, the booking is forced to be the length defined in the Span field.
 
7. Select Regular Pod Booking.
 
Note: For more information about Book Entire Pod products see Book entire pod product setup. For more information about Book Many At One Time products, see Book many at one time product.
 
8. Check Enforce Restricted Start Times if you would like the Start Times you enter to be enforced at the point of scheduling.
 
Note: If this is not checked, the bookings jump to those Start Times (the nearest one where you click), but can be moved. Allows you to either guide the seller regarding Start Times or force the seller to use the Start Times defined.
 
9. Select allowable Start Times for this lesson.
 
Note: A flexible booking product can be defined that can be manually adjusted by the operator at the salespoint. For example, the product could have a default Span of an hour, Allow adjustment by dragging and have no restricted Start Times. This allows a product to be created on the fly, sold and scheduled. Direct pricing can be used to allow the price to be defined at the salespoint.
