Check-in

Confirmation of the start of the booking, which means the booking has started (active booking). It is done over a period delimited for this purpose by the organization, which will begin from a few minutes before to a few minutes after the booking start time. Check-in is necessary to officially start the booking and therefore not expire. Depending on different factors, there are bookings where the check-in is done automatically.

Scanner

Functionality that allows you to use the camera of the device where Bookker is running to check in. It also allows you to know the availability of the resource.

Check-out

Booking states

Pending booking

A booking that has entered the check-in period, and is required for it to start.

Active booking

A booking where the check-in has already been done and therefore officially started.

Expired booking

A booking where the period available for check-in has ended, and therefore leaves the resource available for other users to book.

 

Completed booking

A booking where the check-out was done, either automatically because it reached its end time or because it was done manually.
