Manage Check In

When check in is enabled for room bookings, there are many ways to check in to those bookings. Since users can check into a booking from these various methods, this calls for oversight and management of the booking. This topic guides you in managing check ins for your room bookings. 

Use the Booking Check In Dashboard 

This dashboard is where EMS administrators manage bookings and each booking's check in status.

This dashboard is separate from the EMS dashboard and replaces the separate Building Check In and Group Check-In Status dashboards that were available in older versions of EMS.

  1. On the EMS menu bar, click Reservations > Other > Booking Check In or click Booking Check In on the toolbar.

    To add the Booking Check In icon to the toolbar, right-click the toolbar, then select Customize, and move the Booking Check In to the Show Buttons side.
