Checking-in or checking-out bookings from the booking invoice

You can find the Check-in button in the top action bar in the Invoice tab.

When clicked, this updates the Customer as Checked-in and adds an invoice note on behalf of the logged-in Staff account.

A checked-in booking can also be checked out by clicking the same button, now labelled Check-out.

When either option has been selected, an icon is added to the booking status label showing a checkmark (checked-in) or forward arrow (checked-out) as part of the status.

This can be seen in several areas throughout the system, including the Booking Calendar and Customer Calendar.

When checking-in or checking-out a booking, these actions are logged in multiple areas in the system.

For example, you can find log entries in the Log tab of the booking, or the Account Activity report.

You can reset the check-in status for a booking by clicking on the Check-in button in the action bar when it is in the Checked Out state.

It's not necessary to use the check-in feature. However, it does provide greater insight into your inventory availability, arrivals, and no-shows.
