Describe the solution you'd like

Add a note to my booking so I can give more context. I can then see this text on my booking overview as a tiny preview.

Assigning you @DonKoko to just get a Quick Opinion.

DonKoko commented 1 week ago

Hmm I am not convinced by this. I would understand the idea of adding a textarea field where they can put more info, or notes area or something, but this seems like just adding another name field. If that's all that is needed, why cant this data be added to the name?

@DonKoko context provided

"The calendar question was that if it would be possible to add notes or tags or colour code to the bookings in the calendar so i can identify the bookings better straight from the calendar view. Workaround is to put the description directly into the booking name but then it is also shown in the pdf checklist and that we want to use as a custody agreement with the client on check-out. "

+1 Would like notes on bookings. Generic textarea. We would use this for example:

'Remember to pack extra batteries, this is a long event'
'Please don't drive on the grass when you deliever this booking'
'Client happy to swap the Wireless Microphone booked for a Wired Microphone if the other event needs it'

I could also see a use for generic 'tagging' for bookings too, but thats another topic.

hey @mattlamb99. Thanks a lot for your input. We are considering a way to approach it to make it not just a patch but a good long/term solution. Keep track of this issue to stay updated.

@jurrejansen I think this is becoming quite important. It also got mentioned yesterday in our call. Could you please take an hour thinking about this. Here are some points I was thinking about:

Option 1: We just add a notes field(basically like a description field). Simple but very limited
Option 2: We implement the notes concept from Assets and attach it also to bookings
How do we display a preview of the notes? We can show it easily on the bookings index but what about the calendar? Maybe we can show it when you click and entry
I think in either cases this should not be part of the modal on crate, the field should only be visible on the actual booking page.

Would love to hear what you think.
