Flow Control

Control the number of Covers every 15 minutes

If you wish to limit how many covers turn up every 15 minutes, please follow the below instructions.

To do this, simply;

  • Find Manage Venue on the home screen
  • Select Venue Settings at the top of the page
  • On the Venue Settings page, locate the Default Flow Control Trigger (%)
  • Here, you can set the limit for number of covers that can book online every 15 minutes.
  • The flow is set as a percentage of the total venue covers (at the top of the column)
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the column and select Save Changes

There are a few different ways you can allow the flow to run, if you would like it strict on the number or go over slightly to accommodate a booking. below is how to set this.

– If you would like to system to be a little flexible with the flow, and allow the system to go over your flow slightly to accommodate a booking, have Flow Control Enabled? ticked

– If you would like the system to borrow covers from the 15 minutes either side to accommodate a booking, have Flow Control Enabled? and Ultra Flow Enabled? ticked

– If you would like you flow control strict and not go over the specified covers have Flow Control Enabled?, Ultra Flow Enabled? and Include new covers in Ultraflow? ticked

For example. A venue has a capacity of 100 covers and only wants to allow 12 people to book every 15 minute timeslot. So the Default Flow Control Trigger (%) would be 12.
