Reading some of the tickets in this support area I understand that the system prevents a single customer to book the same time slot twice. Am I right?
I am trying to use Amelia for the B2B agenda in an Fair, where visitors can book meetings with exhibitors. It works perfectly when blocking time slots of the exhibitors, but for example if a visitor books a meeting with an exhibitor one day at a time, the system lets that visitor to book the exact day and time with another exhibitor. All customers (my visitors) are pregenerated wordpress users linked to Amelia customer and must be logged in order to access the scheduling pages (I am using memberpress for that), and Amelia automatically fills the form with their data.
Am I doing something wrong? Or Amelia does not prevent the customer's double bookings?
Exactly - same person cannot book 11am for tomorrow twice (example).
If you have more than one exhibitor as employee, on the same service, visitor will be able to book with another available exhibitor for that time.
The limit is set so that one exhibitor cannot have multiple visitors at the same time (if one visitor booked a particular time with exhibitor A, another visitor will not be able to book that same time with that same exhibitor), unless you set more visitors per exhibitor in service setting Maximum Capacity.
This is a good suggestion Suso, as one visitor would be limited to one exhibitor - unfortunately this is not possible currently within Amelia; if you have time, may I suggest that you request it in Feature Request page? If you find a similar suggestion you can also vote for it. We have a lot of feature requests, the most requested features are in the top of the list and we really try to implement as many new features in each update.
Thanks for your reply, indeed I think it is a very interesting feature to have. I have managed to modify Amelia's AppoinmentReservationService.php to add this feature in my install, since I need this feature for an upcoming event. But will submit the request.
