Event Hub pages with several dates and times

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

In the Date and time panel choose Dates and times, set the first and last day, the days of the week, the hours and the slot length. Guests pick a date and a time; each time has its own spots and waitlist, and you can close any day or time.

A page is either One date (the default) or Dates and times: something that runs over several days with times to choose from.

Set it up

  1. In the editor, tap the date to open the Date and time panel.
  2. Under How it runs, choose Dates and times. (In the AI dialog, the same choice is asked at "When is it?".)
  3. Set the Dates: a first day and a last day.
  4. Tick the days of the week under On these days.
  5. Set the Hours: Opens, Closes and Each slot lasts. The slots are laid out back to back at once and listed under it: "Each day: 4 slots · 6:00–6:30 pm · …". For a schedule that is not back to back, choose Set start times one by one instead.
  6. Set Spots each time.

The page beside the panel sums it up: "184 slots on 23 days, 40 tickets each. Guests pick one when they reserve."

Close a day or a time

Under Your times, open any day for an Open this day switch and a switch per time, with each time's own number of spots. This works on a live page: closing stops new bookings at once after Save changes, and guests who already booked a closed time keep their places and are not written to.

The console's Overview has the same switches without opening the editor, under Dates and times at its foot: a small month, the chosen day's times with their bars, Open this day, and a switch per time. Press and hold a day to close the whole day. Every switch saves at once, with Undo. The same card is in the Nimanto app.

What guests see

The page shows Pick a date and time: a month calendar with a dot on each day that has times (room, a few left, or full), then the chosen day's times as tiles: "6:00–6:30 pm · 12 tickets left", "Only 3 left", "Full · join waitlist", "Closed". Tapping a time opens the reserve sheet on it.

Rules per time

Everything that holds for a page holds for each time: its spots are its own, its waitlist is its own line, and requests are per time. One e-mail address can hold one reservation per time, so the same family can come on Friday and again on Saturday. Every time has the same prices.

The pass, every e-mail and the calendar file state the guest's own time, never the whole run. The day-before reminder goes one day at a time, to the guests confirmed for that day. See The pass.

What cannot change

  • A page switches between One date and Dates and times only while nobody holds a reservation.
  • A time that guests hold keeps its moment and cannot be removed: close it, and add a new time instead.
  • A time's spots cannot go below what is reserved on it, and a new time must be ahead.

The console and the door

Each guest's row shows their time, and All times narrows the list to one. Message guests can go to one day or one time. At the door the scanner shows each guest's time; a guest booked for another day is still let in, with an amber note.
