Allow a booking on my activity

When running an activity it is easy to let Users express their interest in joining the activity.

Who can create a booking on an activity?

Bilby is flexible and will allow any verified user to create a booking on any activity that is marked as “Open to Public”. How you choose to manage those bookings is entirely up to you!

For those wanting something a little more structured, we recommend coming up with a policy for your group on how you want to handle bookings when someone is not a member. Read up on the User statuses and think about how you want to handle bookings when they come in.

Making an activity available to the public

By default, this will let public Users to express interest in joining.

Making an activity available to members only

In the same administration screen you can change the activity status to Members Only to only allow access to other active members in the system.

This will only allow Users who have the status of “Member” to express interest in the activity.

Closing bookings for an activity

When you would like to close an activity for bookings simply select the “Closed” status to indicate that the activity is no longer taking bookings.
