Tip

We recommend associating your [Booking page](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/booking-pages/introduction-to-booking-pages "Introduction to Booking pages") with at least one [Event type](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/introduction-to-event-types "Introduction to Event types"). This enables better modeling of advanced scheduling scenarios (e.g. [multi-User scenarios](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/recommended-configuration/multi-user-scenarios/introduction-to-multi-user-scenarios "Introduction to multi-user scenarios") using [Pooled availability](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/master-pages-resource-pools/resource-pools/introduction-to-pooled-availability "Introduction to Pooled availability")) and provides a better scheduling experience for your Customers.
