Quick start: the first booking
This is how you record your first backend booking — from the button to the success message it takes less than a minute.
Step 1: choose an event
- Open Components → DPCalendar → Bookings and click New booking in the toolbar.
- You see the list of bookable events from the enabled calendars — with date, calendar and current occupancy. Use the filter bar to narrow the list down if needed.
- Click Book in the row of the event you want.
Step 2: fill in the booking
- At the top, choose the number of tickets (per type if there are several ticket types) and any booking options.
- Enter the contact details in the card Book as guest: first name, last name and email are required. Alternatively, select one or more existing users in the card above — then the guest entry is not needed.
- Fill in the additional fields, if your DPCalendar installation defines any.
- On the right, under Booking details, adjust the booking date, the status and — for events that cost money — the payment provider if needed.
- Click Save booking.
Step 3: check the result
After saving you are back in the booking overview. The success message names the new booking including the event date and links to it directly — one click opens the booking for checking or editing.
The booking goes through the same DPCalendar logic as an online booking: tickets are created, prices calculated, remaining places updated and — if enabled — the usual confirmation and notification emails sent.
