Add Booking Details and Items to Individual Bookings

The steps that you follow to add booking details and items to individual bookings depend on the category type. Also, you can add multiple occurrences of a booking detail to a booking only if the booking detail is a Resource with Service Order category or a Catering category. If the booking detail is not a Resource with Service Order category or a Catering category, and the detail is already added to a booking, you cannot add the detail again to the booking. You can, however, add more items to the booking detail.

Open the reservation in the Navigator using any of the following methods:

In the left pane of the Navigator, expand the folder structure for the reservation until the appropriate booking folder is visible.
Select the booking folder, and in the Booking Details pane, click New.
The Booking Details list opens.

A dialog opens.
Continue to one of the following:

Add a Booking Detail from a Non-Resource Category

A booking detail that is from a non-resource category can be setup notes, attendees, agenda (activities), or a room charge.

To search only for the available phones to add to a booking detail, select the Phones grouping.
In Filter, enter a search string by which to filter your search.
Your search is limited to the exact order of the characters in the string, but the search string is not case-sensitive and it can appear anywhere in the search results. For example, a search string of co returns coffee service, conference phone, and mini-copier.
In Quantity, leave the default value of 1.00 or enter a new value.
If you change the quantity for a resource package, then the quantity for each individual resource that makes up the package is also changed.
Do one of the following:
- For the Resources tab, on the Items list, select the resource item, or Ctrl-click to select the multiple resource items that you are adding to the booking.
  Your EMS administrator might have configured an override resource (also known as an override description) so that you can book a resource that has not been configured in your EMS database. For example, the administrator might have configured an override resource named "Other." If you select the Other resource, then a Description field is displayed on the Resource Selection dialog. You must enter a description or name for the override resource before you can continue. EMS does not track availability of override resource items; however, EMS reports on override resource items just like any other resource item.
- For the Package tab, select the package that contains the multiple resources that you are adding to the booking.
Click Select.
- For items on the Resources tab, if your EMS administrator configured selections for the resource, then either you might be required to make selections for the resource, or you have the option to make selections for the resource. Otherwise, go to Step 10.
- For packages on the Packages tab, the package is added to the booking. An entry for the package as well as entry for each item in the package is displayed in the Booking Detail Items pane of the Navigator.
Repeat Step 4 through Step 9 until you have added all the necessary booking detail items for the selected booking.
Click Close.
The resource and its items display as folders under the Booking folder in the Navigator.

To add more resource items to the booking, you can select the Booking Detail folder for the booking or you can click a booking detail item in the Items pane, and then click New.
