A new variety of the Waste Bookable Item is available known as ‘Day Weightings’.

Day weightings allows the administrator to add a maximum per day weighting threshold. This is used in conjunction with the maximum number of slots threshold so which threshold is reached first, the booking date will be made unavailable for further booking e.g. if there are 12 slots available for the booking day, and a max weight (per day of 200), if 12 customers each book a slot with a item with a weighing of 5, then the slot threshold will be met, if 1 customer books one slot but with a weighting of 200, then no further bookings can be made.

The weighting of each Waste Item must be configured within each Waste Item in the ‘Weighting’ column.

A maximum weighting number per group can also be configured as required.

The flow of the booking is different and therefore uses a different plugin. The flow of the booking is as follows:

1. Address is selected (can be pre-populated from the location picker if set as primary), customer clicks "Go"
   


2. Customer can select items, customer clicks next


3. On confirmation of the items, the available dates (based on weighting and slot thresholds) are displayed, customer selects date required. Price is also displayed.


4. On selecting ‘Confirm’ the booking is reserved within the system for 30 minutes until the Service Request is submitted
