MIDAS booking systems incorporate a set of basic booking fields enabled by default. These allow you to capture the type of booking, the number of attendees, resources, and booking notes. That’s in addition to the space being booked (the “venue”), the date/time, and client details.
These booking fields can be re-ordered as well as made optional or required. They may also be selectively hidden from individual users.
MIDAS also offers even more flexible control by allowing you to add your own “custom” booking fields as well!
A variety of different custom booking field types may be added to MIDAS, including:
- Single-line text Field
- Multi-line text Field
- Number Field
- List Field
- URL Field
- File Upload Field (Self-Hosted Editions Only)
Last year, we expanded the types of custom booking fields available. This included the addition of a new “Range” (or “slider”) custom booking field type.
For MIDAS v4.18, we’re adding a further custom booking field type to the available range, with the introduction of a custom “Checkbox” (tick box) booking field type:
When adding a new “Checkbox” custom booking field to MIDAS, you’ll be able to title it, specify whether the box should be “checked” (ticked) by default, and also whether the checkbox is required to be checked/ticked in order to proceed in adding/modifying/requesting the booking.
This new custom booking field and associated options will certainly find uses in a variety of applications. For example, it will now be easy for MIDAS users to ensure that their hirers/customers have accepted any Terms & Conditions of Hire, etc before making their request/booking.
