Overall steps on creating an IPAF type Booking
Pre-condition - you have reviewed the below steps
Create the booking as normal
Do not enter the PO when booking as we don’t want the booking confirmation email to send straight away
While still on the booking (edit screen) - select the schedule id (left corner of the page) - the schedule id is hyperlinked. This means, when you select the schedule id, it will open the schedule edit screen on a new tab
While on the schedule, update the new attendee’s weight and labels
Jump back to the booking, enter the PO + save changes
Outcome: the booking confirmation email with the attendee names and emails will populate in the booking confirmation email to the booker.
Timetable - your timetable > timeslot > attendee tab will populate the attendee names and select Labels.
When creating future bookings, you will see the schedule ‘weight’ column calculate the ‘weight’ assigned to the schedule. This will help you determine if the schedule has space for more attendees and their IPAF exams
