How can I update the availability or close a departure?

In this article, you will learn how to use the departure closure option that enables you to close departures for further booking or manipulate the availability and maximum capacity of your departures on an individual basis.

In order to update the availability of a departure, you need to do the following:

1. On the Dashboard you need to click on the departure for which you want to update the availability.
2. Once on the Departure page, click on the Occupancy status link which will then open the options to update your availability.

Fully close the departure

If you wish to completely close off the departure to disable further bookings, you can use the “Close departure” checkbox option, which will automatically reduce the availability of the departure to 0.

Note that when you click on the checkbox you need to click on the Save button in order to apply the changes.

Reducing the availability with price categories

You can manipulate the availability by reducing or increasing the value for each of the price categories that you have defined for the activity in question.

Note that when you are updating the availability through the price categories, you should not set any value for the maximum capacity as that option will override the values that you define on the price categories.

Reducing the availability with maximum capacity

You can manipulate the availability by reducing or increasing the value of the maximum capacity, which will in terms define the overall availability for the departure across all of your price categories.

Note that if you are using the Resource manager feature to control your availability, and if you wish to update it, you would use the maximum capacity to do so. Keep in mind that you would only be able to reduce the availability and not increase it.
