Rental via the website
For each category, you can specify whether the underlying items are available for rent through the website. You can determine exactly when and for how long the items are available for rent.
Allow reservations - Check this option if you want to offer items in this category through your association's website.
Start reservations - first moment on the day that a reservation can start
End of reservations - last moment on the day that a reservation can end
Reservation interval - the interval in hours during which a reservation can begin, calculated from the "Reservations Start" time. For example, choose "4 hours" combined with a "Reservations Start" time of 9:00 AM, so a reservation can start at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM (we automatically take the "Reservations End" time into account).
Minimum reservation duration - minimum period in hours that items in this category can be rented
Max. reservation duration - maximum period in hours that items in this category can be rented
Published for - Use a simple filter to make the articles in this category available to a selection of your members
