Types of time periods

The type of time period was created to define the different rules of use. They can last from a few days to several months. This notion is used to set up different modes of functioning according to the period of the year such as the summer period, the winter period, the school term, the holiday period, etc.

summer, winter, competition time, school year

This notion is used to define different rules of reservation. Then, you can decide to apply these rules for a few days or for several months (summer period, winter period). A time period can be applied to all the resources or only some of them.

You can add, edit or delete a type of time period in the “reservation” section, under the “settings” module, in the “Type of time period” menu.

You can define these dates in the “Reservation” section, then choose “Parameters”, and “Time period”.

• By default (any time period that is not summer)
• Summer

or

• By default (any time period that is not winter)
• Winter

or

• By default (any time period that is neither summer nor winter)
• Summer
• Winter

There are elements which vary between the school term and the holiday term in your club: the hours of operation of your resources or any other notion changes between the school term and the holiday term. You can set up time periods like this:
