How to add an area booking to an order?
When you have created a new order you will be brought to the order overview page for this order, from here you can add an area booking type!
To do this select 'Add area booking' > a pop up will then appear where you can add the area booking to your order. Or you can add via the calendar by selecting on a blank space > Add area booking.
Step 1 - Choose booking type
Here is where you can choose the area booking type you would like to add to the order. Choose the area booking from the list shown or search for a specific area booking!
Step 2 - Choose guests
Next you will have to select the guests that you want to add this area booking for. If you have already entered the guest into the 'Client details' section of the order then this guest will appear as an option. You can then also add other guests by selecting 'Add guest'
Enter guest name > Add OR
Search for the client via their name or email in the 'Customer search' > Search > this will bring up all guests that are associated with this name/ email > select the client from the list
"One booking will be created for each guest selected. Choose multiple guests to add this area booking for more than one guest at the same time." Therefore, you can add multiple guests that require this area booking and this will make the process of adding the area bookings to the order much quicker!

Step 4 - Choose slot
Here you can choose the slot you wish to book the guest in for. If you are booking for more than one guest at a time then it will indicate which guest you are booking for as it will say 'Choosing for (name)'.
If the area booking has different durations to choose from then a 'Duration' field will appear and you can choose an option from the drop down. The slots will then appear. Once the slot is selected the area booking is added to the order. If you want to add a slot that isn't an 'available' slot then you can toggle on 'Show (number) unavailable slots', once toggled on 'unavailable slots' will appear. Or if you want to customise the slot completely you can select 'Add custom slot'. Here you can then manually enter in the time/ duration/ area.
To make changes to an area booking that has been added to an order you can select the three dots next to the area booking > edit > here you can then choose another available slot or you can 'Edit custom slot' to make manual changes to time/ duration/ area etc.
