Customized time slots: allow a member to change the start time and/or duration of their reservation

---

ژانویهٔ 2015

By default, a member cannot change the duration or the start time of his reservation. They must comply with the slots established in the configuration of each schedule (Administration > Schedules configuration).

For example, you have a schedule open from 8am to 10pm with 60 minute slots. Currently, the member is restricted to the pre-established slots (8am-9am, 9am-10am, ...). If he wants to reserve two hours, he must perform the reservation operation twice. They cannot reserve 90 minutes if they wish, nor can they reserve a "half-hour" slot from 8:30 to 9:30.

You can now address each of these issues and offer more flexibility to your members.

At the time of booking, the member will have a drop-down menu to select the start/end time of their reservation, the authorized slots will be generated automatically according to your configuration.

To activate this new option, go to Administration > Users > Subscriptions, then to the "Authorizations" tab. You will find the option called "Custom Slots".
