When a guest arrives for a tour, you'll want to mark them as Checked-In, which will secure their spot on the roster. When a guest fails to appear for a tour, you'll want to mark them as a No-Show, which will move their booking to the Pending Action Queue if there is a balance due remaining and free up the corresponding amount of spots for the trip. This process does not notify customers, it is simply for your own organization.

Mark a Guest as Checked-In or as a No-Show
Check-In
- Navigate to your Dashboard, locate the guest's trip timeslot, and click on it to arrive at the roster.
- If you want to check-in a guest, click the green check next to their name and they'll be marked as attended.
- You will also see a guest count on the Dashboard to show you the total number of guests marked as checked-in.
No-Show
- Navigate to your Dashboard, locate the guest's trip timeslot, and click on it to arrive at the roster.
- If you want to mark a guest as a No-Show, click the red ban button.
- When you mark a guest as a No-Show, their reservation will remain in the roster with the ban button in red.
- If you click to open the Pending Action Queue you'll see the No-Show booking there as well, only if a balance needs to be collected.
- Note: Customers marked as No-Shows will increase trip availability by the corresponding amount of people. So this will cause these slots to open up to the public to be booked.
- If you mark a booking as a No-Show that is not on that day's date (ie future date), you will be greeted with a pop-up asking you if you would like to increase the availability or not.
Pro Tip: If you mark someone as a no-show, by accident and need to correct this, simply just click the red No-Show button again, and they will no longer be a no-show.
