HOWTO Enter a booking

The procedure for the administrator to create a booking is very similar to the 'Request a booking' procedure for normal users - and uses the same from on the 'Booking Request' page. There are, however, a few noteable differences:

• The booking will not be marked as provisional - it will go straight into the system as a full booking.
• You are able to create a booking 'on behalf' of someone else. This is useful if, for example, the Beaver section has requested a booking by telephone or other means. In this case before filling in the booking form choose 'Beavers' in the list next to 'Book to a different user', then click on 'Change'. It is important to do this where appropriate - as well as saving time by pre-filling the form with the relevant information this means the booking will be 'owner' by the Beaver user. This means it will show up in searches for Beaver bookings and also that the Beaver user can cancel the booking should that need to
