How to Restrict Bookings to Fixed Time Slots in MIDAS (e.g., 1-Hour Blocks)
Learn how to restrict bookings to fixed durations in MIDAS — enforcing specific time slot lengths so that bookings can only be made for predetermined periods (e.g. 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours).
By default, MIDAS allows bookings to be created for any duration. However, for some venues you may want to restrict bookings to specific time increments — for example, tennis courts bookable only in 1-hour slots, or consultation rooms available in 30-minute blocks.
Fixed duration restrictions are ideal for:
• Sports facilities (courts, pitches) hired in fixed time slots
• Consultation rooms or interview rooms with standard session lengths
• Hot-desks or co-working spaces booked in half-day/full-day blocks
• Recording studios or rehearsal spaces with standard hire periods
• Any venue where you want consistent booking lengths for scheduling predictability
This tutorial shows you how to configure fixed duration options in MIDAS, and how the booking interface changes to reflect these restrictions for your users.
