Using the Intranet WebApp

Using the Intranet WebApp M

The Intranet WebApp gives staff without access to the Bp Event application a limited view of the event calendar and room bookings plus, if needed, an option for creating booking requests and new accounts. The exact appearance of the WebApp Intranet interface will depend on the customised configuration. Many functions and fields can be shown or hidden individually.

Options for booking rooms and possibly caterings, for searching and creating accounts and for searching available items can be made available depending on the exact configuration.

  • Create event requests in the Intranet WebApp

    Create your own event booking requests including room reservations in the WebApp. When setting up the templates, your company determines whether these bookings are considered as mere enquiries or confirmed bookings. As soon as an event is created in the intranet, the responsible user group will receive a notification to process the event further.

    1. Go to Event > Create event to make a new booking. If multiple event templates are available for your company, this selection will appear first. Otherwise, a new event enquiry will open directly.
    2. Enter the key details of the event on the Enquiry tab. Date, Time, Occasion and Number of guests are mandatory fields. There is space for comments in the field Initial agreement .
      Go to Search room if needed. Whether or not the room search is activated is a company setting.

      Select a seating type from the drop-down menu if needed.

    5. Enter which drinks, food or other items you require for your event on the Item selection tab. The items offered are based on the template that is set up for online bookings. You cannot book items other than those specified.
      1. Depending on the type of item, different Quantities can be entered. Use the drop-down menu to accept the Guest count or a number up to 9, enter larger numbers directly. Not all entries are possible for all items.
      2. In addition, you may be notified of minimum - or maximum order quantities. If you subsequently change the number of guests attending the event, check whether all items can still be supplied in the correct quantities.
      3. Depending on the WebApp set-up, it may be possible to enter Remarks concerning individual items.
      4. See further details Details on the items (data sheet) by clicking on the icon.

Select suche Search account if you know that the organiser's account already exists in the database (see Search accounts). Select neu Create account to enter a new account (see Creating accounts).
