# What the booking statuses mean

> Understand what each booking status and Booking ID status means.

https://docs.seascape.bz/reservations/booking-statuses

There are two levels: each activity has a status, and the whole Booking ID has one.

Each activity is one of:
- **Confirmed**: booked. Every booking starts here, online or in the office. There is no approval step.
- **Checked In**: the diver has arrived.
- **No show**: they didn't come.
- **Cancelled**.
- **Completed** is shown once the trip date has passed. You never set it.

The whole Booking ID shows:
- **Secured**: at least one activity on it is confirmed or checked in.
- **Holding** and a time: everything on it is an online booking waiting for payment. The seat is held until that time, then released and the customer is emailed.
- **Completed**: every activity on it has already run.
- **Cancelled**: everything on it is cancelled.
- **Pending**: nothing on it is confirmed. You will mostly see this when every activity on it is a no-show.

**Pending** in the Payments filter is a different thing: it means nothing has been paid yet.

**Trip confirmed** is about the trip, not the booking. See 'Confirming trips, and auto-confirm'.
