How to Bulk Cancel Reservations

There are many reasons why you may need to cancel multiple reservations at the same time. Cancelling reservations in bulk is much easier than cancelling a lot of reservations one-by-one.

Important! Ensure that all reservation types are listed under the Reservation Cancellation Email template and that the template is enabled by going to Left-Navigation: Admin » System Email. Failure to do so may result in cancellation emails not sending to some pet parents. Learn more about System Email here.

  1. Navigation to Left-Navigation: Reports & More » Reports » Reservations by Date Range report
  2. Enter the date range.
  3. Select the Reservation Type.
  4. Click the Generate Report button.
  5. Click the checkbox next to reservations you wish to cancel.

FAQ

How can I be notified of a cancelled reservation?

You can configure user groups to receive a notification when reservations and appointments are cancelled. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Reports & More » Groups and turn on the Notification: Cancelled Reservation permission.

    • This permission can be local to only locations where the reservation was for or can be global, meaning a notification will display at all locations when a reservation is cancelled, regardless of the location. 
    • For more information see our article on App Notifications
