Notification

🧭 Overview

The Reservation Notifications page is a system-level tool used to monitor, review, and manage issues and alerts related to bookings. It centralizes all system-generated warnings, errors, and informational messages to help users maintain data integrity and ensure smooth booking operations.

🎯 Purpose

This module is intended to:

  • Provide real-time visibility into booking-related issues

  • Highlight critical problems such as unpaid or overbooked reservations

  • Assist users in troubleshooting and resolving errors

  • Help ensure reservation completeness and accuracy

By consolidating alerts by type and severity, this module supports operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.


✅ Preconditions

  • Available only to users with permission to access booking administration and notifications.

  • Booking data must be up-to-date and error checking services should be running in the background.

  • Some notifications (e.g., overbookings) may rely on system configuration thresholds (e.g., allotment).

The left-side menu organizes notifications by type. Each category shows a counter for active issues.

  • Sorting: Clicking on column headers allows for sorting by Booking No, Date, or other fields.


🚩 Special Notes & Behaviors

  • Notifications do not auto-resolve—they must be handled and cleared through booking updates or internal processing.

  • System may auto-refresh counters periodically depending on configuration (e.g., every 30 minutes).

  • The presence of multiple notification types for a single booking is possible.

  • In some environments, notification acknowledgment features may be added to track who resolved what (if enabled).
