Once enabled, the steps that occur when a user makes a booking are as below:

1. Users make bookings against the vehicles they require, for their desired dates/times

2. If the booking meets the approval trigger criteria, the booking becomes a "provisional booking"

3. For the provisional booking, an email is automatically sent to the nominated user/admin as per the approval trigger rule

4. The user/admin reviews the booking details in the email message and clicks either 'approve' or 'decline'
