[EmilyTapestrySupport]

This tutorial will guide you through adding and editing Closures & School Holidays.

If you have not yet enabled and set up Booking then this tutorial will guide you through doing so.

Then to access the Booking screen you'll need to click on the Booking tab (1). If this is your first time using the Booking system, you'll be presented with the following set up screen which lists everything you need to do to set up Booking, including any Closures or School Holidays (2). 

 

 

 

Once you have completed all the mandatory actions on the booking setup page you will no longer be shown this page when you access Booking. If you didn't set up your Closures & School Holidays from this page then you can do this by going to Config (1) and Closures & School Holidays (2).

 

 

To add a Closure and/or a School Holiday you'll just need to click on 'Add' and then select either 'Closure' or 'School Holiday' (1). Once you're done you can head back to the Booking setup screen by clicking 'Go Back to the Setup Screen' (2).

 

 

 

Adding a School Holiday

First, I'll you how to add a school holiday. Once you've clicked 'Add' in the screenshot above and selected 'School Holiday', you will see the following screen where you will need to enter the name (1) and the start and end date of the holiday (2). Once you've done that you'll need to click Save (3).

 

 

Adding a Closure

For a closure you'll just need to select this option after clicking on the 'Add' button. Just like creating a holiday, you will need to enter the name (1) and the start and end date of the closure (2).

If you have a closure that is only for a half day for example, then you can deselect the Whole Days box (3) and then enter in the relevant start date and time and the end date and time (4). Once you've done that you'll need to click Save (5).

 

 

You'll then be able to see the holiday and/or closure you created.

 

 

If you have created holidays and closures that are dated before today's date then you'll just need to click on the Hide past closures/holidays box (1). This will show you all holidays and closures that predate today's date, which are listed in chronological order. You can also choose to only see either Closures or School Holidays by clicking on the relevant tabs (2).

 

 

 

Finally, you can also edit a closure or holiday by clicking on the pencil icon (1) as well as delete any closures or holidays by clicking on the bin icon (2).
