Best Practices for Creating an Event in a Booking

  • There is no best practice on where to create events. You can create events from the group booking, but you can also create a new event from the ‘Function Diary’.

  • Some users like to check the function diary first to check space availability, and then find the booking, and edit it (as in this lesson).  The more savvy catering team may prefer to book most of their events straight through the function diary.

  • If the user is trying to book a function space that’s already blocked, and the user does not have the ‘overbooking’ permission, they will get a message saying this space is already booked, and won’t be able to proceed. 

  • If the user is trying to book a space that’s already booked, and does have ‘overbooking’ permissions, a message will come up to confirm, whether they want to proceed.
