Llandudno Sports Club Booking Help
Registration
Registration is required in order to use Llandudno Sports Club Booking. After your account has been registered you will be able to log in and access any resources that you have permission to.
Booking
Under the Schedule menu item you will find the Bookings item. This will show you the available, reserved and blocked slots on the schedule and allow you to book resources that you have permission to.
On the Bookings page, find the resource, date and time you'd like to book. Clicking on the time slot will allow you change the details of the reservation. Clicking the Create button will check availability, book the reservation and send out any emails. You will be given a reference number to use for reservation follow-up.
Any changes made to a reservation will not take effect until you save the reservation.
By default, only Application Administrators can create reservations in the past.
Find A Time
Under Schedule there is an option to Find A Time. This gives you the ability to search for any available slot that meets your criteria.
Multiple Resources
You can book all resources that you have permission as part of a single reservation. To add more resources to your reservation, click the More Resources link, displayed next to the name of the primary resource you are reserving. You will then able to add more resources by selecting them and clicking the Done button.
To remove additional resources from your reservation, click the More Resources link, deselect the resources you want to remove, and click the Done button.
Additional resources will be subject to the same rules as primary resources. For example, this means that if you attempt to create a 2 hour reservation with Resource 1, which has a maximum length of 3 hours and with Resource 2, which has a maximum length of 1 hour, your reservation will be denied.
You can view the configuration details of a resource by hovering over the resource name.
Recurring Dates
A reservation can be configured to recur a number of different ways.
The repeat options allow for flexible recurrence possibilities. For example: Repeat Daily every 2 days will create a reservation every other day for your specified time. Repeat Weekly, every 1 week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday will create a reservation on each of those days every week at your specified time. If you were creating a reservation on 2011-01-15, repeating Monthly, every 3 months on the day of month would create a reservation every third month on the 15th. Since 2011-01-15 is the third Saturday of January, the same example with the day of week selected would repeat every third month on the third Saturday of that month.
Additional Participants
You can either Add Participants or Invite Others when booking a reservation. Adding someone will include them on the reservation and will not send an invitation. The added user will receive an email.
Inviting a user will send an invitation email and give the user an option to Accept or Decline the invitation. Accepting an invitation adds the user to the participants list. Declining an invitation removes the user from the invitees list.
The total number of participants is limited by the resource's participant capacity.
Accessories
Accessories can be thought of as objects used during a reservation. Examples may be projectors or chairs. To add accessories to your reservation, click the Add link to the right of the Accessories title. From there you will be able to select a quantity for each of the available accessories. The quantity available during your reservation time will depend on how many accessories are already reserved.
Booking on behalf of others
Application Administrators and Group Administrators can book reservations on behalf of other users by clicking the Change link to the right of the user's name.
Application Administrators and Group Administrators can also modify and delete reservations owned by other users.
Updating a Reservation
You can update any reservation that you have created or that was created on your behalf.
Updating Specific Instances From a Series
If a reservation is set up to repeat, then a series is created. After you make changes and Update the reservation, you will be asked which instances of the series you want to apply the changes to. You can apply your changes to the instance that you are viewing (Only This Instance) and no other instances will be changed. You can update All Instances to apply the change to every reservation instance that has not yet occurred. You can also apply the change only to Future Instances, which will update all reservation instances including and after the instance you are currently viewing.
Only Application Administrators can update reservations in the past.
Deleting a Reservation
