Making the Check-In Field a Drop-Down Menu

This guide explains how to change the Check-In Time field on your reservation form from a plain text box into a convenient drop-down menu with selectable times.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the Website tab.
  2. Click Reservation Pages.
  3. Select the reservation page you want to edit.
  4. Under the Presentation section, expand Reservation Form Customize.
  5. Locate the Check-In Time field.

Adding Drop-Down Options

To convert the check-in field into a drop-down, you simply add special text after the field label.

Type your list of choices after the label, separated by a pound sign (#) with a space before the first option.

Example:

Check-In Time  2:00 PM#3:00 PM#4:00 PM#5:00 PM

Each value separated by # will become one selectable option in the drop-down menu.

You can include as many options as needed. For example, to include 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM, you would write:

Check-In Time  2:00 PM#2:30 PM#3:00 PM#3:30 PM#4:00 PM

Save and Verify

  1. After entering your options, click Save Changes.
  2. Open your reservation page in a new browser tab.
  3. The Check-In Time field will now appear as a drop-down menu instead of a text box.

Guests can easily select one of the predefined times from the list you created.

Example Result

When finished, your drop-down might look like this:
