MIDAS Documentation v4.43
Booking Requests
The Booking Request functions allow non-MIDAS users (i.e. members of the public and / or visitors to your website) to check room availability and make "booking requests" for your rooms. Once enabled, simply link or direct people to https://your-MIDAS-URL/request (where "your-MIDAS-URL" is the actual URL of your MIDAS) to allow them to start making booking requests.
MIDAS » Documentation » Booking Requests As well as directly linking to the booking request screen, you can also embed it directly in your website within an <iframe>
"Booking Requests" are not actual bookings - they first require approval by a user with sufficient privileges (a venue "Manager") before they become "confirmed" bookings.
Additionally, an administrator can make any MIDAS user account a "request-only" account. In such instances, the regular "Add Booking" screen the signed-in user would see instead becomes a "Make a Booking Request" screen. Like "public" Booking Requests, booking requests made by signed-in users also require approval before being converted into "confirmed" bookings.

If you'd like to display an embeddable calendar of your bookings on your website (rather than a booking request form), see our optional Web Calendars addon. Web Calendars can also be configured to allow visitors to click a date and be taken directly to your booking request screen.
