| Add Service Requests to Existing Reservations | Users and concierge users can now add service requests to an existing reservation after it has been created. The Add Services button is available only when service checkpoints are configured and the reservation is not Completed, Canceled, or Conflicted. Requests are submitted through the existing service request flow and are added directly to the reservation. A confirmation message is shown after successful submission. |
