Getting started with Visits

Visits help you keep track of assets (people, vehicles, companies) currently present on your yard. Each visit belongs to one of three possible states: planned, in progress and finished. They are based on existing bookings.

Adding visits to Yardman

Only the Account Admin is able to manage that. If you do not see the following options, you’re not the Account Admin.

To create new visit, click the Bookings button from menu on the left side. You may create new visit based on existing booking of a company or a person.
