Rental Preferences Settings
The following settings apply to all the Reservation and Reservation Request windows. One default check-in task is available, but you can assign a different task for each Subtab. Options to use Auto Reservation Counter and the Auto Rental Counter are found on the Admin > Client Info / Counters Tab.
Authorization Required – click the check box to prevent conversion of reservation requests without an electronic authorization.
No Holidays – if checked, no reservation charges are calculated for any dates found in Organization > Lookups / Holidays.
Written Authorization – if checked, this requires reservation agents to have a paper document with the authorizer's signature rather than an electronic authorization before releasing the rented item.
No Weekends – if checked, no reservation charges are calculated for any weekend dates during which the item is in use.
Allow Overbooking – if checked, this option can create conflicts. The option allows the same item to be requested or reserved multiple times for the same time period.
Check-In Task Code – If you have a task to be followed when the item is checked in, select it here. You can choose to generate a work order for this task when the item is returned.
Note: Make this a generic task since only one task can be assigned as a preference to each type of item.
Task Description – When you select a task, the description is automatically completed in this field.
