Edit Reservations and Bookings

This section guides you in working with bookings in the Reservation Details page on EMS Web App, where you can view, add, change, or cancel services and attendees for a booking. For an overview, see Add Reservation Details. A reservation may contain multiple bookings, so the procedures below guide you in applying your changes to more than one booking within a reservation. 

The process for editing reservations and bookings for Exchange-enabled templates and non-Exchange-enabled templates are different. This topic includes the following information:
