Facility rental blocks restrict facility bookings to entire blocks of time. Customers must book the entirety of a rental block, even if they plan to use only a portion of the time.
For example: There is a facility which is open 24 hours every day. The rental block is configured as 9-12am. This means that the facility can be booked any time, but you can only book the entire 3 hours from 9-12am.
To override a rental block when creating a reservation, under the Administration > System Settings > System User Profiles > Change Profile section, grant the ‘Front Desk: Reserve - Override Rental Block’ permission to the required staff user profiles.
Select the following menu links: Administration > Facility Settings > Facilities.
Select the desired facility.
Select the Change Facility Rental Blocks link.
