How do I approve or deny a booking request?

When your school requires sign-off, new bookings land in Requested or Pending Approval instead of going straight to Confirmed. They wait for an admin or instructor to act.

Steps

  1. Open the booking — from Bookings, or by clicking it on the calendar to open the detail panel.
  2. While it's in Requested or Pending Approval, you'll see Approve booking and Deny booking.
  3. Approve booking moves it to Confirmed. Deny booking rejects the request.

What sends bookings here

Two settings drive this: require_instructor_approval and require_admin_approval. Turn either on and matching bookings queue for approval. See [[scheduling-booking-windows-and-approval]].

For what each status means, see [[scheduling-booking-statuses-reference]].
