Configuring different reservation event settings
For reservations, the (reservation event) settings of the definition linked to the measurement point are applied. To facilitate more flexibility, you can now also create a definition and link it to a reservation (based on a standard order whose order group is linked to Meeting Services).
This makes it possible to create various reservation types and specify settings accordingly.
Procedure
1. In Layouts, add the Measurement point definition (MeasurementPointDefinitionRef) to the business objects:
◦ Standard order
◦ Reservations (used for meeting rooms)
By having this reference field available, you can create a standard order and reference that from the reservation.
2. Go to AWM > Configurations & Logging > Definitions level, create a definition and specify its settings.
3. Create a standard order, specify its details and link the definition was created in step 2.
4. In Reservations, you can now add a reservation and link the definition that was created in step 2.
Typically, what would happen is that a reservation is created and the settings of the definition linked to the measurement point would be applied. However, now, for the duration of the reservation, this mechanism is overruled by the settings of the newly linked definition.
Similarly, you can also select the standard order in the reservation. When you do that, the settings of the standard order will be applied and the respective fields in the reservation will be autopopulated and the settings of the linked definition will be applied.
