Set up Required Check-In
Admins can require employees to check-in for all hotel desk bookings in Desk Booking Settings. If they don't check in to their reservation, you can automatically cancel their booking and free up valuable hotel desk space.
When you enable the Require Check-In setting, you are presented with the following options:
- Check In Time - Let's you specify a check-in time before the booking starts.
- Automatically Release Booked Desks - Enable automatic cancelation of bookings if an employee doesn't check-in for their reservation. You can specify how long after booking start-time the cancelation occurs in Auto-Release Booked Desks setting.
- Exempt From Check-in - Designate employees who are exempt from required check-in. If health screenings are enabled in your account, no employee check-in exemptions will be allowed.
- Cancel Bookings - When you turn on this setting then employees can cancel their booking after they have checked-in.
Regardless of whether check-in is required and your Require Check-In setting is ON or OFF, your employees will receive reminders about their upcoming reservations.
