Restriction
There are 3 types of restrictions: Location, Group and Global.
•
Location: Creates a restriction for one location, e.g. if a room is undergoing renovations.
•
Group: Creates a restriction for a group of locations, e.g. a new wing of rooms not yet completed, or all rooms on the first floor.
•
Global: Creates a restriction for the entire facility in that period of time, e.g. Christmas Day.
These three restriction statuses are pre-defined. You cannot create new restriction statuses or delete existing ones. You cannot edit the names of the restrictions, but you can still edit some other features.
1.
Select Setup | Status Codes from EventPro’s main menu.
2.
In the drop-down list in the top left corner of the Status Codes screen, select Restrictions.
3.
Click to highlight the status you want to edit and click the Edit button in the upper right corner.
4.
In the Status [Edit] window, click the Text button to change the text color and Back button to change the background color. The Color window opens. If you want to create a custom color, click the Define Custom Colors button. When you have selected the color you want, click OK to return to the Status [Edit] window
5.
If you have purchased the EPWeb module, you can check the Show on Web box if you want events with this restriction to show on your website.
6.
Choose a Conflict Level from the drop-down menu:
a.
Full: If a restriction conflict level is set as “Full”, you will not be able to book a conflicting event. Once a restriction with a “Full” conflict level setting is in a time slot, nothing else can use that time slot (except for an event with the “Ignore” conflict level).
b.
Warn: If a restriction conflict level is set as “Warn”, EventPro will warn you of any booking conflict, but will not prevent the booking.
c.
Ignore: Restrictions of this conflict level do not conflict with any events and will not be considered when EventPro performs a conflict check.
7.
When you are done editing the status codes, click Save to save your changes.
