Attendee details

You might notice 'Name not given' in place of an attendee's name in your bookings:

Booking example with arrow pointing at the 'Attendee details' section, where the name would normally be. In this case, it is replaced with 'Name not given'.

This can happen for a couple of reasons:

  1. Customer Account or Record Deletion

    • If a customer deletes their account after making a booking, their name is removed from your records, and 'Name not given' appears instead. The booking remains, but their personal details are no longer available.

    • This also applies if you (the admin) delete a customer record or if it’s removed based on data retention settings.

  2. Booking Forms Without System Fields

    • If a booking form doesn’t include system fields like name or contact details, no personal information is collected during the booking process, resulting in 'Name not given'.


Booker details

You might notice 'Booker not entered' in place of an booker's email address in your bookings:

Booking example with 'booker not entered' next to the 'Booked by:' title.

This usually happens because, while the booker's email address is required, they may have deleted their account through the customer portal after making the booking.
