The tab Facility bookings contains the settings of the web module Bookings.
General settings
Module active | This setting determines if the module in question is available or not (visualised as a tab) on the Recreatex Webshop. In this way, different modules can be offered per Webshop (if different webshops are created for a certain Recreatex database). | ||||
Anonymous access | This option allows website users to access this module without having to log in. In this way, users that do not have a user account can also consult the module. Warning
| ||||
Navigate to shopping cart after adding | This setting is active by default and makes sure that the Webshop automatically navigates to the shopping basket after clicking on the button In shopping cart. If this option is deactivated, the system will return to the previous overview after an order/booking. In this case, the user can navigate to the shopping basket himself to finalise the order. | ||||
Allow new UI for booking | This parameter allows you to define which user interface and flow has to be used when making a booking on the Webshop. NoteActivating the new UI for booking enables the use of additional functionalities on the Manager page, such as Show single infrastructure for type, Day colour [week/month view only] and Colour occupied hours. To configure these parameters, see the description of the setting in question under Overview settings of the module Facility bookings. If this option is active, the new user interface for the booking module will be used wherein:

If you opt to let the user choose, he/she will be able to indicate this while making the booking: | ||||
Hide consumables/usable articles | These parameters determine the way in which the list of consumables and user articles (that can be added to the booking) will be visualised. Since consumables and user articles are considered options for a facility booking, these parameters are linked to the setting Disable options.
| ||||
Show card numbers with valid membership | If this parameter is active, the Webshop customer will see an overview of his/her cards with valid membership when making a booking. In this way, the card will be validated and the system will check whether the room, as well as the activity, correspond to the valid membership. Activating this setting is only required if the possibility to make a booking depends on having a specific membership. | ||||
Remember selected activities for booking | This parameter makes sure that the selection of activities in the booking overview is remembered and used when creating a new booking. NoteIt is possible to use this setting only when the parameter Allow new UI for booking is deactivated. | ||||
Show competition type for group | Activate this option to allow customers of the type "group" to specify the competition type when booking a facility. There are 5 possible types: Undetermined, Competition, Training, Demonstration, and Private. You can choose which competition types should be available on the booking form, in the Competition type drop-down list. The competition type selected by the customer can be found in Recreatex backoffice on the booking detail screen in the tab Extra. | ||||

Possibility to cancel | If active, the user will be able to cancel bookings that are not (yet) paid/recorded or deleted in History and overviews. Selecting at least 1 booking you want to cancel (1) will activate the Cancel button (2) at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to cancel 1 or multiple bookings at once. Additionally, the option Show cancelled bookings becomes available in the filter (3) to allow the customer to include/exclude the cancelled bookings in the overview. For the cancelled bookings the cancellation date/time is displayed in the column Cancel (3). | |

In History & overviews > My Facility bookings, an extra column becomes available showing checkboxes next to optional bookings. After selecting the booking(s) and clicking the Confirm button the bookings become definitive and the checkboxes disappear. | |
Show subsidy info | Activate this setting to show the subsidy information in a separate column in History & overviews > My Facility bookings | |
Immediately open filter | Activate this setting to automatically show the expanded filter in History & overviews > My Facility bookings when the user opens the overview. By default, this setting is not active and the filter is shown in collapsed form after opening the overview. | |
Select period | Possibility to determine the period for which the facility bookings should be loaded when a customer opens the My Facility bookings section in History and overviews. Available options are: Today, This week, This month, This year, Today + 1 week, Today + 1 month, Today + 6 month, Today + 1 year (default). (defaul The option Customized allows you to define another period if none of the default options is suitable. When a customer opens the My Facility bookings overview, the filter has the predefined period filled in and the bookings for that period are preloaded. The customer can, however, change the period to load the desired selection. | |
Default sorting | Define the default sorting order of the facility bookings in the My Facility bookings section based on the date of the booking: Date (ascending) or Date (descending) |
Season Planning
Configuration and activation of the season planning functionality are done in the Recreatex backoffice application. When active, the request and reservation period settings will become available in the Manager application.
Request period (1) - limits the user to submit season planning requests within the specified period and time.
Reservation period (2) - period for which the customer may create a booking series request.
For complete information on how to configure and use the season planning functionality, see Season planning - Backoffice and Season planning - Webshop.
E-mail notification
As is the case with general notification e-mails (to be set up under General > Settings > E-mail messages) the e-mail address that is filled in here, is the addressee of the internal service, that will receive the copy of the e-mail sent to the customer. By filling in a deviating e-mail address per module, however, it is possible to make the addressee of the order confirmation (e-mail) dependent on the module in which the order was placed. In this way, orders of module X can be sent to service X, of module Y to service Y, etc.
If order | An e-mail will be sent if a user has placed an order for facility booking on the webshop and has finalised the transaction through the shopping basket. This is thus a copy of the order confirmation that is sent to the customer in case of an order. | |
Send e-mail to location | Use this setting to email the online booking confirmation to one or more e-mail addresses configured on the place level in Recreatex, tab General (setting E-mail address booking mails). |
Introductory text module
It is possible to fill in an introductory text per Webshop module. As is the case with the general welcoming and introductory text, HTML is supported for the creation of the introduction per module and the text can be translated if you wish so. The introductory text is always visualised at the top of the module's primary page.
Always save the new settings by clicking on the button Save.
