Soft Booking
Soft booking functionality is disabled by default. It can be enabled by admins in the admin view under the "System Settings" tab.
Silverbucket has an optional feature called soft booking which can be used to create tentative allocations. Tentative allocations represent a "different reality" and can be used for multiple purposes.
- Tentative allocations are never summed up with confirmed allocations
- A timeslot can have both types of allocations simultaneously.
- Your view type dictates which allocations are prioritized in the resourcing view
Example: when viewing allocations with Tentative & Confirmed option the allocations boxes prioritize showing the tentative values in the slots. If there are no tentative allocations it will show the confirmed allocations in that slot. Same applies to the Confirmed & Tentative view type but the other way around.
If you disable the soft booking functionality the current tentative allocations are hidden from the environment. After re-enabling the functionality the tentative allocations are shown again.
