Figure 1: The Customer notifications section on an Event type
By default, when your Booking page is associated with Event types, the Customer notifications section is located on the Event type. When your Booking Page is not associated with Event types, this section is located on the Booking page. However, your account Administrator can change the location of this section to be always on either Booking pages or Event types for the entire account.
