What’s a Custom Attribute #
Custom Attributes are a powerful extension point. You can add additional custom attributes to Reservations, Resources, Resource Types and Users.
Attributes can be configured as single line text box, a multi-line text box, a select list (drop down), a multiple option select list, a link, a date time, or a checkbox. They can be configured to be required or optional.
Textbox attributes allow an optional validation expression to be set. This value must be a valid regular expression. For example, to require a digit to be entered, the validation expression would be /\d+/
Custom attributes are available to plugins and can be used to extend the functionality of Booked.
Reservation Attributes #
Reservation attributes are collected during the reservation process.
User Attributes #
User attributes are collected when registering and updating a user’s profile.
Resource Attributes #
Resources attributes are collected when managing resources and will be displayed when viewing resource details.
Resource Type Attributes #
Resource Type attributes are collected when managing resource types and will be displayed when viewing resource details.
Limiting Attributes #
User, Resource, and Resource Type attributes can be limited to a single entity, meaning a specific user, resource, or resource type. These attributes have an Applies To property. If an attribute is configured to apply to a single entity then it will only be collected for that entity. By default all custom attributes will apply to everything in that category – so all users, resources, or resource types.
Reservation Attributes can be configured to collect an attribute value only for specific users or resources being booked.
Admin only attributes are only shown to users who have administrative privileges over that reservation.
Private attributes are only shown to the reservation owner and those users who have administrative privileges over that reservation.
