Double-Sided Backdrops
Set up your double-sided backdrops to ensure that they don't get over booked; with backdrop availability rules, you can make one side of a double-sided backdrop unavailable when the other side is booked.
To access this feature, go to Manage --> Business Settings --> Availability --> Availability Rules.
Make sure you have your backdrops set up in Check Cherry, then click Add New Rule. Give the rule a name that describes which 2 backdrops are in this rule (the client will not see this name), then enter the maximum number of this double-sided backdrop you have.
Availability rules are great for things like double-sided backdrops; the rules mean that when one item in the rule is booked, so are all the rest.
