Preset opening hours can be set for all locations in ASIMUT.
This can be done by selecting Functions > Edit locations and then clicking the Opening hours at top left.
These hours should be left untouched if possible as they affect all locations in ASIMUT if changed.
Instead, exceptions can be added to ASIMUT bookings to cater for events outside regular opening hours.
Adding these exceptions requires access to the advanced interface in ASIMUT.
You can get to the advanced interface if you are a Power User or Administrator and select the 'a' icon at the bottom left when in the main screen of the public interface:
This guide has the following sections explaining booking exceptions:
Booking exceptions to regular opening hours
Changing and deleting existing exceptions
Booking exceptions to regular opening hours
If a booking needs to be made that is outside the regular opening hours for a location, an exception can be made for a specific time period.
To set this exception, go to Functions > Edit locations and search for the location that needs the exception added (see green box below).
(Note that in the screenshot above, the ability to book this location via the public interface has been turned off (see red box above).)
To set up the exception, use the calendar in the ‘Exceptions from regular opening hours’ section.
- Select the month the exception should be set for by clicking the left and right arrows
- Click on the day in the month that the exception should be added for
- In the box that then pops up, decide if you need to set the exception for a date range or a single day
if for a single day, select the start and end hours for the exception; you can set two hour periods for a single day
if for more than one day, tick the ‘Multiple dates’ box, and specify the date range in the From section. Then set the start and end hours for the exception; you can set two hour periods for a single day
Note that you can use the exception to open or close the location for the time period you specify by selecting either Open or Closed from the dropdown
Enter a description that will be shown when people view the exception, then click the Save button
You are returned to the main view and the day/s the exception are set for are marked in bold. In this example, exceptions have been booked for the 8th, 11th and 12th of September:
You can also click on the document icon to see a summary of exceptions booked for this location:
Here’s a sample exception summary screen:
