The hotel day: your dashboard

Why	Start the shift from one screen: today’s check-in and check-out plan, who is in-house, what is free and what has piled up — with a one-click jump into the right screen.
Who	Front desk staff and administrators, every morning.
What you’ll get	A confident read of the five day cards and the blocks below them; “Open…” buttons that take you to the right screen instead of menu hunting.
Limitations	No arrivals or departures lists live on the dashboard — counter cards with jump buttons; there is no print-out of the arrivals list either.

The dashboard is the screen the morning starts from: one card per big question of the day — who is checking in, who is leaving, who is in the hotel, what is free, and what has accumulated. Every card ends in a button that leads to the right screen. This article covers how to open the dashboard, how to read the cards, and where they take you.

Open the dashboard

The dashboard lives in the left menu: “Main” → “Dashboard” — the first item of the very first menu group. The subtitle sets the scope — “An operational overview of the shift and today’s tasks”: everything on the screen counts for today.

One nuance: the system does not open on the dashboard. The root opens the pinned “Planner” tab — the working grid of bookings; you pick the dashboard in the menu when you want the day overview.

Five cards of the day

The top of the screen is five cards. The value, the caption and the buttons differ per card:

“Check-ins today” — the check-in plan for the day: an “N / M rooms” fraction, a “Planned in total: M rooms” line, and the “Today’s planned check-ins” and “Open bookings” buttons.
“Check-outs today” — the same count for departures: the “Today’s planned check-outs” and “Open bookings” buttons. A fraction of “0 / 1 rooms” reads as: one planned, none done yet.
“Staying now” — captioned “Rooms occupied right now”: how many rooms are taken at this minute.
“Rooms free” — captioned “Free physical rooms”. Free means all rooms minus the occupied ones minus blocks: a blocked room (say, under maintenance) does not count as free.
“Needs attention” — captioned “There are unpaid stays”: how many issues have piled up (“1 issue”) and a balance link with the amount due; the click leads to the booking that owes.

The “N / M” fraction is the main count of the check-in and check-out cards: the numerator is what is already done, the denominator is the plan for the day. The “Planned in total” line repeats the denominator in words. An empty plan reads “0 / 0 rooms” — the day simply has no check-ins scheduled.

Cards count rooms, not bookings: “Rooms occupied right now” and “Free physical rooms” count physical rooms. The exception is “Needs attention”: a count of issues and a balance due.

Where each card takes you

The buttons at the bottom of the cards are short jumps; a button’s name names the screen.

“Open bookings” — on the “Check-ins today”, “Check-outs today” and “Needs attention” cards: the “Bookings” list, where the day’s arrivals and departures are the “Arrivals today” and “Departures today” segments.
“Open planner” and “Open staying guests in the Planner” — both lead to the Planner; the second goes straight to the guests currently staying.
“View free rooms” — which rooms stand behind the “Rooms free” number.
“Open rooms” — the “Rooms” section with the room inventory.

The blocks below the cards

Below the cards sit four shift blocks: “Shift task queue”, “Shift issues”, “Problem bookings” and “Shift notes”.

While the day is clean, each shows “No data”, and the task queue shows “No critical tasks”: that is a good sign, not a malfunction. The blocks fill themselves when the shift picks up tasks, issues or bookings with balances due. The task queue has its own “Open planner” button.

Quick actions

The “Quick actions” block is three everyday buttons:

“Planner” — to the booking grid; how it is built — The Planner: how it works.
“New booking” — take a booking: dates, guest and room in a few clicks — Create a booking in 4 clicks.
“Assign a room” — attach a room to a booking that has none yet, for example before check-in; how check-in itself works — Check-in and check-out.

Honest limits

There is no print-out of the day’s arrivals list — no button on the dashboard and no separate screen. The list is visible on screen: in “Bookings”, the day’s arrivals and departures are the “Arrivals today” and “Departures today” segments. Printing exists, but only per booking — a voucher and guest document scans for a specific booking; it does not replace the shift list.
No column lists live on the dashboard: only counter cards and jump buttons. Who exactly is arriving — by name — is looked up in “Bookings” or on the Planner grid.
The dashboard shows absolute numbers — “Staying now”, “Rooms free” — not percentages: occupancy is not calculated as a percentage anywhere. What the numbers show and how to read them — Occupancy: how it is calculated.
There is no “Reports” item in the menu — and that is not hidden: the day’s metrics live on the dashboard, in the Planner and in “Finances”, not in a separate module.
