What are Dynamic Schedule Settings?
- Dynamic schedule settings are a collection of settings that allow you to have individual settings in your schedule
- These settings provide greater flexibility for your schedule, enabling you to have individual settings for each type of sport bookable on MATCHi.
How do I activate Dynamic Schedule for my venue?
- Activate the dynamic schedule settings under Administration > The venue > Schedule Settings. Start by clicking on the type of sport you want to activate the settings for, then check the box next to "Activate".
- The next step is to specify the settings that will apply to the selected sport:
Minimum booking length: The shortest possible booking length that can be booked.
(If you currently have 30-minute slots in your schedule and set "60", customers still won't be able to book under 60 minutes with this setting.)
Maximum booking length: The longest possible booking length that can be booked in one booking.
Avoid gaps: Customers are not allowed to leave gaps in the schedule that are shorter than the specified minimum booking length.
Note: If the customer books their playtime within the timeframe of the shortest allowed booking length, the system will allow the customer to book and leave gaps in the schedule.
The above example shows how you are allowed to book if you have activated the function to avoid gaps with 60 min as the minimum booking length. As a venue admin, you will be able to override these rules, but players will not.
Preparations for dynamic schedule settings:
For optimal functionality and flexibility, we recommend first ensuring the following are set and activated on the facility's admin page:Shorter time slots in the schedule (15, 30 min)
- Shorter slots will allow greater flexibility for customer bookings. Note that the time blocks you set will be the interval that customers can then extend their booking (15, 30, 45, 60, 75 ...) (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 ...). To make changes to your schedule, you need to create deviations in your season. Read more on how to do it here.
Hourly-based price list
- The hourly-based price list allows the price to be as flexible as the schedule, and the system calculates exactly what the customer should pay based on the number of minutes booked. To create a new price list, read here.
