Can you explain me the pre-booking settings?

The pre-booking settings explained

You can find these settings at AdminConfigurationPre-Bookings

Reflect Wait Time to Prebookings: imagine you book a ride as a customer, but all the drivers are far away. In the booking form, it will show an Estimated Time of Arrival of a driver to the customer. With this setting turned on, the customer can not book a ride within the Estimated Time of Arrival of a driver, basically closing all time slots that a driver can not get to them.


Pre-Book Notice Required: in this setting, you can set the time a customer has to book in advance. The minimum is 5 minutes. When this setting is set to, e.g. 14 days, the customer can only book a ride starting at 14 days into the future.


Release and Queue Prebook: in this setting, you can set at what time prior to the pickup the ride is finalized and fully booked in, e.g. if set to 1 hour in advance, one hour before the actual ride is set the ride is seen as actually happening and the customer can get charged.


Pre-book Slot Intervals: this settings reflects how slots in your Calendar (BookingsCalendar) are organized - per hour, or per half an hour.


Total Pre-books Per Interval: this setting will let you select whether you want the number of bookings per slot set to a custom amount (see Total Bookings just below) or for the number of bookings per slot to reflect your driver's schedule.


Total Bookings: this setting reflects how many pre-bookings are allowed per slot. E.g. you have 4 drivers. Because of this, you allow 3 pre-bookings per time-slot, so that all your drivers keep busy.
