Common questions about visit details

How do I approve a visit but leave one visitor out?

Use Approve → Approve specific visitors, select everyone except that visitor, enter a reason and confirm. The visitor left out appears in the Excluded Visitors tab. This option needs a pending visit with more than one visitor.

Can an approved visit be cancelled by staff?

Staff can Reject an approved visit from its detail page. Rejected and canceled visits have no further actions.

Why is there no Approve button on a visit?

The visit is not pending. Only pending visits can be approved; approved visits can only be rejected.

Why don’t I see Approve excluding blacklisted?

That option appears only on a pending visit with more than one visitor where some, but not all, visitors are blacklisted.
