Using Reservations from the Calendar
Within GoMeddo Views, you can Enable multi selection. This feature allows you to use the CTRL/CMD or SHIFT key to select multiple boxes in the calendar, automatically creating multiple child bookings directly from the calendar interface.
The Multi Selection Type on a GoMeddo View, allows you to decide whether the selection results in multiple reservations, parent-child reservations, or a reservation with multiple junctions.

To expose Parent & Child reservations to an external website or mobile app, define Reservation Blueprints. These blueprints enable you to automatically select the right resource, staff, or dimension records based on your configuration.
