Booking windows determine how far in advance a customer can reserve a class. Managing booking windows in Mariana Tek allows you to control how far in advance classes can be booked, either broadly or for specific use cases. By tailoring the settings, studios can manage class availability efficiently and optimize scheduling.
Proper configuration is also key to ensuring classes or events are visible and accessible within the expected timeframe. Misaligned settings or restrictive booking windows can confuse members.
To create a new booking window, submit the Booking Window Request form. Booking windows must be 90 days or less.
Mariana Tek supports two window types: interval and rolling.
Interval Windows
Interval windows always start at a particular time and day of the week.
Examples of interval booking windows:
Every Monday at 9 am, allow users to book classes through the following Monday.
Every day at 11 am, allow booking through the end of the following week. At noon, exactly one week early, we release all classes for a given day. So if it's Tuesday at 11 am, you can book classes through the following Tuesday. Then on Wednesday at 11 am, you can book classes through the following Wednesday, and so on.
Rolling Windows
Rolling windows are continuously evaluated against the current time. Classes beyond the rolling window appear as "Not Open" until they fall within the rolling window, which updates daily to ensure continuous availability.
Examples of rolling booking windows:
Users can book classes up to 30 days in advance.
2 months in the future from the current time
1 week in the future from the current time
If your default booking window is 2 weeks and you have a “VIP” window (for example) with a 4-week booking window, the schedule will show only 2 weeks of classes as available unless and until a customer purchases the relevant VIP Credit Package or Membership associated with the advanced permissions.
Employees are not subject to booking windows.
Third-party reservations follow the default booking window.
