How to Use the Bookings Tab

Find out what each table in the Bookings tab shows, what to use it for and which bulk actions are available.

📒 NOTE

Dashboard tables were updated in October 2026, and some column names have changed. To find the replacement for a column you used before, see the column mapping document.

🔓 Optional Role Permissions (all tables): Views, See Bulk Action, Data Export, Reports

The Bookings tab in the Ventrata Dashboard holds your orders, bookings and tickets, as well as extras, item and gift purchases, tasks, customer and membership records, resource allocations and waitlists.

📗 TIP

Orders, Bookings and Tickets show the same sales at different levels. Choose the table that matches the level you need — for example, use Tickets to count individual visitors, or Orders to see what each customer paid in one transaction.

What it shows

All reservations. A booking belongs to an order and can contain multiple tickets.

Labels

Upgraded

The booking was upgraded, rebooked or auto-rescheduled (reseller bookings), and a new booking was created.

Duplicate

The reseller reference was received twice, for example when a Direct API booking is reconciled after being scanned offline; the system marks one as a duplicate so it isn't counted twice, and the bookings can be merged.

The product requires operator confirmation (Operator Confirmation Required on the product detail page); the booking stays in this status until the operator confirms it.
