  1. This function lets cashiers reserve PCs and devices for members. Only the member who reserved them can use them during that time.
  2. After using the booking balance it will auto switch to the highest priority offer if customer use offers
  3. If a PC is booked days in advance, you can still use all sessions available.
  4. Once the booking time starts, measured in minutes deducted from the member's account balance, no one else can use the reserved PC, and no sessions can start until the booked time has passed.
    Example: If a session is booked for 30 minutes and the time hasn't yet passed the 30-minute mark, only the member who booked it can log in. Once 30 minutes have elapsed, at 31 minutes and beyond, all sessions can be accessed.
  5. If a postpaid session is active when the booking time starts, the system will automatically check out the postpaid session.
  6. Admin account can cancel booking , if booking is canceled it will refund the amount fully.
  7. Start time must not be past and must be future. (Check Settings - timezone to be always correct)
  8. Disabling the "Allow booking when PCs are online" function means that only offline PCs can be used for booking, which is the default setting.
  9. Enabling the 'Allow booking when PCs are online' function allows bookings to be made regardless of whether the PCs are online or offline. To enable this, navigate to Settings - Payment & Tax and toggle the option.(Figure2)
