How do I use arrangements?
To illustrate how combis can be used, we take the example of a bowling alley and dining location.
Suppose Teqa Bowling has both 5 bowling lanes and 5 table grills that can be reserved. It is of course possible to create a new product for this, but we want to ensure that no more bowling lanes or table grills can be reserved when 5 combis take place in a time slot. To make this possible, we combine the bowling lane and table grill products into an combis.
Below you will find an explanation of the process of creating a combi. To do this, click on the grey block with your email address in the top right corner, and then on "Configuration" to go to configuration mode. Then click on "Objects" in the top bar and then on "Manage arrangements". If this option is not visible, it may be that the account being used does not have the correct permissions for this.
-
Click on "Add arrangement" at the top of the page.
-
Enter a name and description and select the mode of the arrangement. There are 2 modes for arrangements:
- Standard mode: In this mode, the arrangement is simply a combination of the products in the arrangement.
- Shopping cart: In this mode, products in the arrangement can be freely combined by the customer. For this, the shopping cart setting in the environment must be activated. (See the tip on this page for more explanation).
-
Then, periods can be chosen. The arrangement consists of a combination of periods of different products. Here, for example, 1 hour of bowling and 1 hour of grilling can be combined in an arrangement.
If the standard mode is selected, the price can still be changed. To do this, first go to the "Combi config settings" block under the blue bar, set "Shopping cart = no" and change the "Price as shopping cart" option to no. If this is set to yes, the price is the sum of the prices of the individual periods. Then click on "Views" in the top right corner and then on "Combi - Schedule". At the bottom of this page, you will find the pricing schedule block. Add a new schedule here and set the price that the arrangement should have at different times of the week. Once this schedule has been added, click on the pencil icon in the calendar, check whether the correct pricing schedule is linked, and click save.
A standard mode arrangement can now be added to the customer pages if they are active in your environment. To do this, click on "Customer page" in configuration mode and then on "Help pages". Here, choose the option "Arrangements - list". On this page, a page with a list of arrangements can be added. The link to this page can be included on the homepage and/or in the menu of the environment.
Explanation of the shopping cart mode:
Suppose a company has 4 different boats, and these can be rented simultaneously as desired. In this case, an arrangement containing these 4 boats is created in shopping cart mode. A customer can, in this case, make a reservation for boat 1 and 2, and another customer at a different time for boat 2, 3, and 4 by using this arrangement.
To enable the shopping cart setting in the system, go to configuration mode, click on "Configuration" in the top bar, and then click on "Reservation settings". Here, enable the setting "Shopping cart enabled" (and disable the option "Inheritance").
