How do I create Daily Reservations?

Daily Reservations are a great way to make reservations for resources for a specific date and time. Some examples include reserving lodging for a family for the weekend or a church who reserve a facility for their Sunday service.

What is an Itinerary?

These reservations are contained within an Itinerary, which is simply just a collection of reservations with a specific date and time. An Itinerary allows you to manage these reservations as a whole. Another way to think about an Itinerary is when you are going on vacation, you may have airline tickets, hotel reservation and a car rental. All of these reservations would be part of your travel itinerary.

New Reservation

There are two places where you can start creating a Daily Reservation.

Option A – Itineraries

Go to Family or Group > Itineraries > Daily Reservations and click New Reservation.

Option B – Resource Calendar
  1. Go to Manage > Camp > Resource Calendar and click Add Reservation.

  1. Select Daily Reservation.

Ever had someone change their mind on what dates work best for them? Once an Itinerary is Activated, you are able to go back to Reservation to change the dates. Any Reservations that are not able to be transferred, will be displayed in a warning message.
