INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Create a new ball machine option that displays on the member portal.
Use Cases: CourtReserve comes pre-loaded with one ball machine type. System users can add (or remove) ball machines or other types of equipment that can be rented by club members. System users can also hide ball machine categories so that they do not appear on the member portal scheduler.
To set the cost of ball machine bookings, go to SETTINGS > BOOKING SETTINGS > Costs and, optionally, set machine costs at the membership level.
