Create New Booking window

Modified on Sun, 19 Apr at 11:30 PM

Use the Create New Booking window to create bookings for rooms.

Note: The Create New Booking feature is designed to cater for bookings that stretch multiple days. For example, a conference or student exchange. If you want to book a room for single-day use, such as booking a lecture theatre to show a movie, use the Object Bookings feature. See Managing bookings.
