- Number of Bookings Selected

Booking Index Update Moldal Number

Note the number of bookings to be updated! Be sure this corresponds to the number of bookings you intended to select so that you don't update any in error, especially if you have chosen to Deliver Notifications in the process.

- Update Status

Booking Index Update Moldal Status

Use this option to update the Status of the selected booking(s). Simply select the new Status from the drop-down list.

To learn more about Booking Statuses, please read the following:

Booking Status: Status Types

-- Deliver Notifications

Booking Index Update Moldal Deliver

If you update the Status of the bookings, then you also have the option to Deliver Notifications. This sends any associated Booking Notifications when the Bulk Update is applied.

If you do NOT want to send any associated Notifications, then be sure to uncheck the Deliver Notifications to prevent a confirmation from being sent to the Customer!

Notifications - Email (Booking Status): Introduction

-- Apply POS Payment

Booking Index Update Apply POS Payment

If you choose to Bulk Update bookings to a fully PAID Status and you have the setting Suggest applying a POS transaction when manually marking a Booking as Paid (Manage > Ecommerce Setup > Settings) enabled, then the option to Apply POS Payments displays. Select this option to automatically generate a transaction with a POS Payment once you click Apply.

- Add Booking Note

Booking Index Update Note

Add a Booking Note, for example, if you would like to include a reason for your Bulk Update.

- Check In Status

Booking Index Update Check

Optionally change the Check In Status of the selected booking(s) to In or Out accordingly.

The Note field within the Booking Index is updated to include a log of this activity as soon as the change is applied.

Be careful when selecting multiple bookings! If the selected booking(s) are a mix of those checked In and Out, then you may inadvertently check In or Out the bookings a second time.

In any of these cases, be sure to Apply your changes before leaving the Bulk Update modal!
