Setup Booking Module:
The
CCalendar Booking Module serves a lot of use cases:
In all areas, where you want to give clients (= external guests / customers / etc.,
without CCalendar account) the
chance to
book defined

"Resources" here can be very different and of manifold nature:
For example:
- Booking rooms like hotel rooms / meeting rooms / ...
- Booking lekturers / lessons / seminars / ...
- Booking equipment like projectors / boats / grand pianos / sound equipment / ...
- And much more ...
With the CCalendar booking module you can use all well-known communication advantages of CCalendar
and
at the same time offer resources over the internet to a wide range of clients, even when they have no CCalendar account!
