Working Hours
Defining working hours for your resources is crucial for managing their availability within Bookla. Without specified working hours, resources are considered available 24/7, which may lead to unintended bookings.
Options for Setting Working Hours:
1. Days of the Week:
- Specify which days a resource is available for bookings.
- Example: A business operating Monday to Friday would set resources as unavailable on weekends.
2. Time Frames:
- Define one or multiple active periods for each day.
- Example: A resource could be bookable in two shifts:
- Morning: 08:00 to 14:00
- Evening: 16:00 to 20:00
3. Priority:
- Determine which rule takes precedence when working hours overlap due to different configurations.
- This feature prevents booking conflicts and ensures system clarity.
4. Activity Period:
- Set a specific date range for when a set of working hours applies.
- Useful for:
- Seasonal operations
- Special events
- Temporary schedule changes
- Example: Extended hours during holiday seasons or limited hours for a temporary exhibit.
