For venues
One copy of OSVenue belongs to one venue. A venue with several rooms, fields or halls lists each one as a space. The install steps are in the repository's README.
What staff can do
| Task | How |
|---|---|
| Booking requests | See requests waiting, approved, declined and cancelled. Approve, decline or cancel with a note the requester never sees. Approving one that would overlap an approved booking in the same space is refused, and the page says what it clashes with. |
| Holds | Hold a space for maintenance, setup or a private use. A hold blocks bookings like an approved request. |
| Events | Publish events with date, time, space, organizer, price and ticket link; mark one cancelled and it stays listed, marked, everywhere it went. |
| The venue | Name, address, contact, booking terms, whether booking is open, and the accessibility details. |
| Spaces | Name, capacity, step-free access, access notes, whether it can be booked; retire a space instead of deleting it. |
| Sign-in | An emailed link, or a passkey added on the account page: a fingerprint, face or PIN on the person's own device. No passwords. |
What people who book see
A form asking for the space, date, start and end time, what it's for, expected attendance and how to reach them. Attendance over the space's capacity, a date in the past or a booking longer than a day is explained on the form. They get a reference, and the status page for it shows only the title, space, time and decision.
What it doesn't do yet
- Requesters get no email yet.
- No payments, deposits or contracts. Booking terms are text the venue writes.
- The install steps haven't yet been rehearsed by someone new.
