Setting up a booking request (approval system)
If you set the approval system, the host can confirm the booking by approving the date and time selected by the guest on the booking page.
From the booking page edit screen, go to Basic Settings > Booking Request (Approval) System, and select "Approval System" and save the settings.
The booking request system cannot be changed in the following cases.
Automatic assignment of appointments (round robin) is enabled.
The number of available bookings has been set.
A booking request that has not been approved or denied already exists.
Setting up a temporary booking.
The selected time can be registered or not as a temporary hold.
If you "Not register" as a temporary booking
For example, when sharing a Booking page with a guest that is set to "Not register", the guest selects 18:00. If you then share the same Booking page with other guests, the 18:00 selected by the previous guest will remain displayed.
(Any number of people can submit requests for the same time slot)
If you "Register" as a temporary booking
On the other hand, when you share the Booking page you set in "Register" with your guests, they select 18:00. If the same Booking page is then shared with other guests, the 18:00 selected by the previous guest will not be displayed.
In this case, if you deny the request of the guest who selected the 18:00 time slot, it will be displayed again.
