After the property has been fully configured you can start importing your reservations:
- Choose the Reservations tab
- Click Import from Channel Manager
- Once again choose the Cloudbeds tab
- Import selected properties. Hostkit (former SIGA) will then connect to Cloudbeds and download all the reservations that are active. Reservations Import can be configured to be automatic if Auto-import is selected.
Once the reservations have been imported they will remain with Hostkit (former SIGA). However, you will probably be updating the guest data in Cloudbeds. Before submitting to the Immigration Services, you need to:
- Import the reservation again with the Update option activated, to make sure any recent data is downloaded one last time. Click on the desired reservation in the list and the reservation details will be shown.
The screen is divided into two sides. The left side, which contains reservation details and the right side, which contains the guest details. Confirm that they are correct and then:
- Click on Send to SEF at the bottom to initiate the process of sending to the Immigration Services.
You can also configure the automatic sending to the Immigration Services:
