# Set your activity's booking options

## Find out how minimum notice, capacity and your activity's display options work, so customers can book at the right times.

Every activity has a few settings that control when and how customers can book it. Getting these right means you have time to prepare for each session, and customers only see the options that suit your business.

**Minimum notice**

Minimum notice is how far ahead customers need to book. For example, with 24 hours' minimum notice, a customer can't book online for a session starting in the next 24 hours.

You can set minimum notice for your whole centre in Toolset -\> Policies, or for an individual activity in Products -\> Activities -\> Edit -\> Options.

Minimum notice only applies to online bookings. Your team can still book customers in from the Dashboard at any time: select 'New booking', choose the session and confirm the booking even if it shows as unavailable.

**Capacity**

Your activity's capacity is the maximum number of people who can book onto each session. You'll find it in the activity's details. If your activity uses resources, such as instructors or equipment, these can also limit how many people can book.

**Display**

In the Display section of the activity's Options, you can:

- Add your activity image
- Hide the activity from the public, for example while you're still setting it up
- Make the activity available to members only

**Vouchers**

To let customers buy the activity as a gift for someone else, go to Options -\> Vouchers and passes and tick 'allow activity to be purchased as a voucher'. Customers will then be offered the choice to buy it as an activity voucher.

**Good to know**

- If a session starts within the minimum notice period, it won't show on your widget, but it's still on your calendar
- Online booking closes when a session starts
- Remember to click Save and exit after making changes

**Helpful tips:**

- Use a shorter minimum notice for activities that are easy to run at short notice, so you don't miss last-minute bookings
- Use 'Hide from public' while you finish setting up a new activity
- Check your capacity matches your instructors and equipment before the season starts
