RE: Agenda for tomorrow's call - "Amenity Use"; RDPE 1.1, Booking update; data quality

Hi Leigh

I might not be able to make the call tomorrow so I figured I would send my feedback in writing just in case.

Overall, the bulk of the changes for amenities look good – and would fit in nicely with what we provide for court hire etc. My only concern is the impact that this may have to the paged data due to cascading updates.

For example:
We often have cases where a single hall is setup such that it can be booked in any of the following combinations (Imagine a set of bounded rectangles that in turn halve the previous boundaries):
1 x Main Hall ( eg. Roller Disco)
2 x 5-a-side football pitch
4 x Badminton court
8 x Table Tennis court
All of these opportunities would be setup with unique/multiple *overlapping* schedules, eg:  All are bookable weekdays between 9am and 9pm but 5-a-side runs hourly, Badminton has options for 30mins/hourly and Table Tennis runs every 30mins.

Booking a single table tennis court (30minute timeslot), would automatically affect the availability of the containing Badminton Court and its containing 5-a-side football pitch and the overall Main Hall, not only for the 30minute timeslot that Table Tennis runs at, but for the hourly timeslots that the Badminton/5-a-side run to. Similarly, a cancellation of a booking has multiple cascading availability updates. If all the affected amenities availability needs to be reflected for every update the paged dataset will grow very large very quickly.
