The Search Results Booking Rule allows the administrator to check for particular information on a different Biskit Type before allowing the booking to go ahead. One possible use of this Booking Rule is to check whether a booker has been trained on a particular resource. If the administrator has created a Biskit Type to hold training information, such as date, resource, trainee name, then the Booking Rule can check whether a potential booker is trained.

 

The Booking Rule searches for a Biskit Type, the administrator can then specify how many properties in the booking and the Biskit Type must match, and the names of those properties and how many record matches are required. As with other Booking Rules additional conditions can be set up. I.e. training, the Booking Rule could match the trainee name with the bookers name, the resource name with the training resource name, and have a condition to check whether the training was done within the last year.
