Messages for Specific Bookings
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Initial Problem
Users should get the opportunity to add messages to specific bookings.
This should be modeled after the messages that accompany the booking of consultations hours.
2 Conceptual Summary
Upon booking users are presented with a conformation dialogue. This dialogue is to be extended by a Message field, similar to consultation hours workflow.
- The feature can be activated for a booking pool.
- The comment can be entered when booking an object.
- The messages are accessible in the reservation list in an extra column (on click modal opens). (only write permission)
- The messages are included in the existing notification mails. (only for receivers with write permission)
- Messages cannot be edited. Reservations can be deleted/canceled like before however.
