Checking in guests

Check guests in from the Manifest by updating booking status — one at a time, or the whole group in one click with the Actions column — plus custom statuses.

Booking statuses let you track who has arrived, who's a no-show, and anything in between — so your team always knows the state of the day. You check guests in right from the Manifest.

Check in from the Status column

  1. Open Manifest from the toolbar.
  2. Select the status under the Status column for the trip.
  3. In the popup, update the status for all guests at once or each guest individually — for example, from Booked to Checked In, or to No-Show.

Quick check-in with the Actions column

For groups, the Actions column lets you check in the whole booking with a single click. Turn it on:

  1. Open Manifest, select the ellipsis next to any trip, and choose Customize Columns (switch dates if no trips are listed).
  2. Under General Fields, enable Actions.

The Actions column appears at the start of each trip, so you can update a whole group's status in one click — much faster than opening each booking at a busy front desk.

Custom booking statuses

Beyond the built-in statuses, you can create custom booking statuses to match how you work — for example, "Checked Out" or "Order Fulfilled." Applied statuses show on the Manifest and flow through to the Activity report, so you can filter and re-market accurately (for instance, sending review requests only to guests who actually attended).

Frequently asked questions

Can I check in a whole group at once?

Yes — either choose "all guests" in the Status popup, or enable the Actions column for one-click group check-in.

Can I create my own statuses?

Yes. Custom booking statuses let you track states specific to your business, and they appear on the Manifest and in the Activity report.

Is there a faster way to check in with a scanner?

Yes — scan guests' QR codes with the TripWorks Ticket Scanner app. See Mobile ticket scanning.
