Store Availability on Sport Booking System
Store availability rules apply to all bookable products in your sport booking system. Configuring these rules is useful if you, for example:
- Have consistent/expected hours of availability (e.g., Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
- Need to block out a specific date range for all products (e.g., Unavailable for Christmas break)
- Only have availability during specific seasons (e.g., Closed from October – May)
To define a global rule:
- Go to: Bookings > Settings > Store Availability.
- Select Add Range. This adds a row to the table (next step)
- Enter rules using the dropdown menus. Select:
- Save changes.
Use Case
A coach offers one-hour coaching sessions and is available Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. with the last appointment at 5:00 p.m. The owner has decided to close the salon for a holiday break between December 22, 2019 and January 4, 2020.
In the Bookings Settings, the following global availability rules are added:
- Time Range (all week): 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Bookable – Yes
- Range of days: Monday – Friday; Bookable – Yes
- Range of days: Saturday – Sunday; Bookable – No
- Date range: 2019-12-22 – 2020-01-05; Bookable – No
By default, Store availability rules take priority over product level availability rules. Secondly, product availability rules take priority over resource priority rules. In addition, every possible time block, as defined within each bookable product, must be designated as either bookable or not.
