Must know
  • Available on plans that include Bookings (defaults off) — if you don’t see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  • With approval turned on, reservations start as Pending Approval and hold no slot until you approve them.
  • Members can’t reschedule or edit a reservation — as an admin you can only approve or reject it. A rejected reservation is marked Cancelled, which is final.
Turn on Require Approval on the booking’s General step — the same step whether you’re creating a booking or editing an existing one. From then on, new reservations wait for your review instead of confirming instantly.

Spot pending reservations

A pending-approval count badge appears in the sidebar next to Bookings. It reflects the count from when the dashboard last loaded, so after you approve or reject a reservation it updates on your next full page load rather than instantly.

Open the booking

Go to Registrations → Bookings and open the booking. Its detail page lists Pending and Confirmed reservations, each showing the date, time, and who submitted it — plus the attendee count when a reservation is for more than one person.

Approve or reject

Click Approve to confirm a pending reservation — Uplifter re-checks capacity under a lock before confirming, so an approval can’t push a slot over its cap. Click Reject instead if the slot can’t be honored.
Because pending reservations hold no slot, approving is what actually reserves the time. If the slot filled up while a reservation was pending, the capacity re-check on approval will stop you from over-booking — reject that reservation and let the member know.
