Service Status Update

Bulk Service Status Update allows Statuses to be updated in a bulk process, across multiple bookings concurrently.

NOTE: This Bulk Service Status Updates feature is designed for companies that manage a high volume of bookings and require a streamlined way to update service statuses in large batches. Instead of updating each booking individually, this function allows users or dedicated teams to apply status changes across multiple bookings at once — ideal for larger organizations with centralized operations or end-of-day processing routines. Please note that this feature may not be suitable for all businesses, particularly those managing bookings on a case-by-case basis.

The selection criteria of bulk update setting can be saved and recalled. If saved, a list will display when the Service Status Update menu is selected. Frequently used filters can be copied and saved from within the Bulk Service Status Update screen.

For example, with this Service status update we want to filter for a selection of bookings that have a Service Status of 'RQ' On Request, and Wait Listed of 'WL', for accommodation Service Types. The system has filtered the bookings that meet the requirements of Service Status and Service Type. Now individual selection of services or select all can be chosen.

NOTE: The Service Status used in this example may differ from your company's Service Status and booking codes.

 

After the user selects the services to be updated, a bulk service status update is performed, changing the status of all selected services at once.
