About Room Booking Products

Room Booking Products allow you to book out a Resource for a variable ammount of time.

• These products have a minimum duration and increment to control these events and are priced per hour.
• These products can be configured to allow creation of repeating events when booking.
• These products can be linked to one or more resources that share the same product details (e.g. pricing), when this is done the purchaser can choose between these resources on the booking page
• When purchasing these "custom" events are created upon the resource, while booking, can be dragged to update them

The user can create events on an outlook style calendar by clicking and dragging and can drag the event to different item / date or drag to change the start / end times.

The user also has the option, if configured on the product, to creating repeating occurrences of this event (again similar to outlook). It is possible to setup a "season end" to ensure no one can repeat beyond a certain date.
