Enable Multiple days in One Booking

[thuynh]

Hello All,

Is that possible to enable multiple days in one booking?
I would like to configure my equipment booking module be able to allow staff to do 3 consecutive days in one booking as we do for 1 day booking.

For example, a staff books the equipment 1/2 day on Mon + a Full day on Tues + 1/2 day on Wed.
Because i dont want staff to make 3 seperate bookings for just on only 1 use. Please point me to where i can do it. Thank you,

Hi thuynh,

It is possible to do half of what you ask. A recurring reservation can be used to reserve something for multiple days. But recurring is designed to be a reservation that repeats. For example, a Boyscout meeting every Monday night at 7:00 PM would be a recurring reservation. So you could make your reservations like that. And even change the times to include all day for the days in the middle. But you would have to adjust all of the reservations.

We have looked into doing a reservation that 'spans' but our system was not originally designed with that in mind and it would be a great deal of work for a very small number of customers since we have had very few requests for this feature.

We are looking at including this in a future version but it may be a while before we get it in.

Being able to reserve multiple days or time periods in a row is a function very important to 'equipment' reservations.  We are looking for a way to reserve museum passes, and these are always needed for several days at a time taking into account travel time, etc., besides just being at the museum.
