  * BOOKED - this is a new booking. The items are booked, but is has not be verified by anyone.
  * VERIFIED - Verified booking. Person responsible for renting the items verified that the items you want will be ready for you at the dates you want.

  * RENTED - Items from this booking were already rented to you.

==== Item permissions ====
In the item list, you can choose to display 'Items with special permissions'. This is because there are two categories of things that can be rented.
  * AVAILABLE - These are thing available for booking and renting for every registered user.
  * SPECIAL - You can't book these items (unless you're an administrator). To rent these items you need special permission from the responsible person. 


===== Renting =====
<note warning>To rent items you need higher permissions!
This is admin-only feature!</note>
The renting works basically the same as the booking:
  * Put items in the cart
  * Fill-in the form and it's finished.

You need to be an administrator to book the items. There is no verification of the dates for the rental, so be careful.

==== Rent items from a booking ====
  * To book items someone has a booking on, go to 'Booking->Administration' menu
  * Click on the icon 'Rent the items' next to the booking you want to work with.
  * Items from the booking will be inserted into your 'rental cart'.
  * Also, you will have the booking in a 'locked' state - that means you can't do other rentals before finishing this one.
  * Now you can add and/or remove items if you want.
  * Lastly, go to 'Rentals->Finish rental' and finish the rental.
  * The booking will be unlocked and set to RENTED state.

  * To unlock the booking without renting it, go back to 'Booking->Administration' and clock on the 'Unlock' icon there.
