DESCRIPTION
This is where you put the title of the Booking and will be the booking name in all calendars and emails.  
In order to avoid confusion, try not to use too generic a title description, so that you are able to recognise it easily in a calendar!

CLIENT
You are able to select the Client from the drop down menu or create a new client using the plus symbol.

Please note: if creating a new client from a booking, you will need to go into the client contact details seperatly in order to fill in all information- such as address, phone numbers and email addresses.

The client you select here will automatically pull over to the invoice, unless you are invoicing someone different to the client, in which case you are able to select an Invoice To client under the Invoice tab.

CLIENT CONTACT
This refers to the contact person for the booking.  You are either able to select someone from the drop down or create a new client contact person and fill in their details.  

Creating a new client contact person from the booking will automatically add them to the client contact details under contacts in Syngency.

The Status drop down let's you select which stage the booking is at.
Once the booking is ready to be invoiced, change the status to Invoiced and the Invoice tab will be populated with an invoice ready to send to the client.
