Prevent multiple users modifying the same reservation at the same time

Added a notification message to inform user if a booking is already open by another user.
The User will then not be able to make/save any changes.(Depends on what they are trying to do)
Opened reservation is being tracked by a cache in Nebula CRS that can be cleared manually if need be.
This is a browser app and not all scenarios can be catered for. If for instance a user has a booking open and just closes the browser without logging out etc the cache will never be updated. For these type of scenarios a 'Remove Lock' button has been added. This will allow a user to 'take over ' editing of the reservation.
