What's a Booking Event?
Booking events are notifications and events related to reservations that a Property Manager needs to work on. This normally includes changes or updates that need to be made on the reservations. Unread or not finalized booking events can be found in the related booking and in the Booking Events Page.
When there are new booking events, the Message Icon of the grey top bar shows the number of unread messages or booking events and by clicking on it you can see the exact number for each and the direct link to the page.
Booking Events Page
The Booking Events shows all booking events received. You can search by dates, Reservation ID, Unit Name and Guest Name. It's very useful when you want to work on several notifications at once.
