Packages allow you to pre-build a combination of Events and Menu Items, that can then be used on a Booking.
Events within Packages can be built with a Space specified. The Space can also be modified on the Event when the Package has been added on the Booking, along with any other Event details. When a space is selected, a conflict check is done & a notification will appear if there is a conflict.

Packages on Documents
Within the Menu Item element, the following options are available that pertain to packages:
Events & Menu Items that are part of a Package are differentiated by the Package Icon:
Hide package item pricing
If using any price columns, the text 'incl.' will appear, to indicate that the items are included in the Package.
Show packages
Selecting this option will show packages with their daily per person breakdown above the menu items.
Hide packaged items
This option is only available if the 'Show Packages' option is selected. Selecting this option will hide any menu items that are part of a package.
Important Considerations about Packages
Once a Package has been added to the Booking, you are unable to mass-change the date of this Package. You can still head into a specific Event and click on the Date to change it.
If you delete a Package from a Booking, a pop-up will appear asking if you also want to delete the associated Menu Items & Events. These Menu Items & Events will become independent and can be modified as needed. If you click on the options to delete those too, all Event items with the Package Icon will be removed along with the associate Menu Items. Note: If you have cloned a package in the Booking, these cloned items will not delete.
