Bookings

The main purpose of the People Planner Web Components is to assist Project Managers and Resource Managers with staffing the project and performing detailed planning by booking the resources for the number of hours that they are expected to work on it.

Bookings are also called allocations. Note that bookings on projects, tasks, summary lines, and absences are registered in hours. Bookings on amount lines are monetary amounts.

When you book a resource, you can choose to display a booking confirmation message if the time interval overlaps with one or more non-working days. The Allow Bookings on Non-working Days setting in the Admin Tool provides the following options:

• Always: No confirmation message is displayed, and the booking is allowed

• Never: No confirmation message is displayed, and the attempted booking is not allowed.

• Ask user: A confirmation message is displayed, and depending on the user's answer, the booking is either saved or not.
