This page explains how to use and customise the DASHBOARD

Note: If you are using the old version of the dashboard click on the "Try it" link. If you want to change back to the old version click on the hamburger menu (☰) and then on "Original Dashboard". 

The dashboard shows you all relevant information on one screen and allows you to manage bookings and rooms.

The dashboard is fully customisable. You can choose which content to display, where to display it and set the size of each component on the dashboard.

To customise the dashboard click on the hamburger menu (☰) on the right and tick "Unlock". You can now change the settings via the menu in the component (⋮).

• Custom Reports

To set them up go to REPORTS->CUSTOM REPORTS. If you want to use a custom report on the dashboard set it "Layout" = tabular.

You have the option to select one or all properties (if you have multiple).

• Graphs

• Housekeeping

The Housekeeping component "Units" shows you an overview on your units. You can change the status and add a note if required. The changes you make in this component will reflect in the CALENDAR. The default statuses can be changed in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT->PREFERENCES under "Unit Status Presets".

Issues with your set up which you should address to avoid problems.
