Learn about the 'Time Info Edit' screen in the Guest Portal.
The Time Info Edit Screen is designed to help property managers with small portfolios manage check-in and check-out times. By collecting information about guests' expected arrival and departure times, property managers can better plan cleaning schedules and ensure smooth transitions between bookings. This screen is particularly useful for properties that do not use digital products and fees for early check-in or late check-out billing.

Here's what the Guest will see:
The time options are:
- Sourced from your PMS therefore they cannot be edited by you or the Guest.

We hope to improve the functionality of this feature in the near future as we continue to gather more feedback from clients on its use case.
