Configuring 'Bookings' web definitions
You can customize the standard delivered Bookings web definition to your requirements, by setting page properties for the pages and configuring layouts for the blocks. End users can use the Bookings module on the app to check their previously submitted bookings (room / desk and asset reservations) or to submit a new booking.
Add / edit a main Bookings web definition, to enable end users to view their booking information or add new bookings via their mobile app. After adding this main web definition you must add sub web definitions to cater for the various booking options you want to offer on the app module.
