Defining eligibility

Eligibility settings control which users are able to book onto individual booking items.

By default, if you do not specify any eligibility rules for a booking item then it will be available to all users of the system with the permission to create bookings.

Each eligibility can be created and edited directly from the configuration section of each booking item.

Clicking the edit (pencil) icon next to eligibility in the configuration section of a booking item displays the detail of any rules that may have already been configured in the system to select from, or any rules that are already being applied to this booking item.

Clicking Create new rule takes you to the eligibility editor from where you can create a customised set of eligibility rules for this booking item.

Each eligibility can be made up of one or many rules, and nested within one another according to the logic you require when evaluating the eligibility rules.

The editor enables users to configure eligibility rules based on the following options:

Rule	Description
Has any of these roles	Here you can select the role a user must/must not have to be able to book onto this item
Has this user field (string)	Links to user fields from a users profile
Has this user field (discrete)	Links to user fields from a users profile
Has this user field (date)	Links to user fields from a users profile
Has this relation	A setting applied to users from within risr/advance
Has any of these booking items	Here you can specify which booking items a user must/must not have in order to apply to this item
Has any of these booking options	Can also be more specific and say which booking options a user must/must not have in order to apply to this item
Has any of these events	Links to events held within risr/advance
Has this number of events	Links to events held within risr/advance

These rules can all be defined as Affirmative or Negative

e.g. Affirmative = Must hold the role of a Student

e.g. Negative = Must not hold the role of a Student
