Enhanced Booking Restrictions

We're excited to announce improvements to how you can control customer bookings, giving you greater flexibility and operational control over your booking calendar.

What's New

We've enhanced our booking restrictions with two powerful rules that work together to create the perfect booking window for your business:

• Maximum Advance Booking: Control how far into the future customers can book sessions. Set a limit (e.g., 30 days) to ensure customers can only book within your preferred timeframe.
• Booking Blackout: Create a buffer period to prevent last-minute bookings. Require customers to book a minimum number of days in advance (e.g., 2 days) to give you adequate preparation time.

Key Benefits

• Flexible control: Apply restrictions globally whilst maintaining the ability to override settings at session, course, and group level
• Operational efficiency: Ensure adequate preparation time and better manage staff scheduling
• Bulk management: Edit restrictions across multiple sessions using bulk schedule actions
• Error prevention: Built-in cross-validation checks prevent conflicting settings that could block all bookings

Example Use Case

Set Maximum Advance Booking to 30 days and Booking Blackout to 2 days. This creates a 28-day booking window where customers can book sessions occurring between 2 and 30 days from today - perfect for balancing customer convenience with operational planning.

Getting Started

Access these new controls in Settings → Bookings & Timetable → Bookings.

Simply enter your preferred number of days for each restriction and save your changes.

These enhancements give you the tools to manage your booking calendar more effectively whilst maintaining a smooth booking experience for your customers.

Any existing settings have been preserved under the new Maximum Advance Booking setting

Schedule: Bulk Edit Functionality

We have updated the bulk edit/copy functionality within schedule by making editing, copying, and deleting functions more contextual and user-friendly.

Key Changes

• Context-aware bulk operations: Bulk edit, copy, and delete functions are now conditional based on the active filter (Session, Courses, or Group Bookings)
• Improved relevance: Each filter now opens the session form with editing options specifically relevant to that context, reducing unnecessary options and confusion

Benefits

• More targeted and efficient bulk editing capabilities
• Reduced complexity when managing schedules
• Enhanced user experience with context-specific operations
