Which would be better to use when a booking is changing from confirmed to a none confirmed state, partial or on hold?
Currently when I'm creating a new booking I set the value to partial if the event isn't confirmed, but in the life cycle transitions there's only the option to change it to on hold, though I think our events being changed out of confirmed would be better being in a partial status instead.
I have found how to do this with the TryEditBooking method, and change the DesiredReservationStatus to DesiredReservationStatus.Partial.
Hi Phil,
Although 'Partial' and 'On-Hold' will behave the same in term of resource management and orchestration ( resource reserved and no orchestration happening) , they have a slightly different meaning.
'Partial' means that the booking is not fully defined yet and hence it can't be confirmed ( ie users still have to provide extra information or select mandatory resources) , while 'On-hold' means that we just don't want to trigger orchestration ( booking could be fully defined here ).
So, the answer depends on the use case and why you want to move it from a confirmed to a non-confirmed state.
Thanks Emmanuel, I have several cases, so will make the relevant call for each one.
