We changed the leading view of the calendar. Your feedback determined the old view to be more comfortable, readable, and printable. Therefore, we made the main view to be for a period, not for a day, visually matching the compact view of the old calendar. We also combined new features to it.
The period views work with 7, 14 or 31 days, allowing you to access the information you need with one click on the period or start date button.
To all period views (Activities, Half-Day, Day) you can now quickly get information about all Activities just by hovering over them, without even having to click. Also, again from all the views you can edit activities or create new ones.
The direct link to the Calendar (from the navigation) is no longer tied to the New Event screen. We've adapted this calendar to be print-friendly, and improved the print view as well.
We have changed the way we create activities through the calendar. Previously, slots were selected first and "blue" boxes appeared, then everything was saved. Creating the activity is now more traditional and linear - after selecting a time, you save the activity immediately, and this allows you to add charges to it at the same time.
When creating a new calendar activity, if there is no event selected, you can create a new one, similar to the old organization.
To the filters, we have added the ability to exclude sections with Meeting room bookings or Catering. This way you can focus on what you are interested in or print only one section or the other.
To the Activities in the calendar, we added information about the Company and Activity Type.
In the Catering section, we have improved the label for the total number of guests for the hour. When there were a lot of bookings, the value was not reading well.
Calendar - Hotel Occupancy
Hotel occupancy is now shown at the top, not at the bottom.
We added a new quick button to show/hide Hotel Occupancy (the icon with the bed).
In Hotel Occupancy, by default it NO longer displays the occupancy percentage. This made the table twice as compact. If you want, you can show the % occupancy from the settings icon in the top right corner.
We added the TOTAL of available rooms to the table.
Event screen
We changed the event details section to be more readable, including the note which is wider and keeps the entries.
New Event screen - we show all the Event fields on the create form so you don't have to edit it afterwards.
Event Contact Person - the contact creation and editing forms now contain all the contact fields. The search has also been changed. Screens have been redesigned to be clearer and make better use of screen space. The suggestion of related contacts has been improved, and they are retrieved from both the Company and the Event. When selecting or creating a Contact, it is also added to the Company, to make it easier to use in future Events.
In dialogs (e.g. editing Catering, Charges, Templates, etc.) you can quickly close screens with the "Esc" key instead of pressing the "x" key.
We have added the number of related bookings.
ToDos - we've split them into Active and Completed, with Completed hidden by default.
We've expanded the edit form for Activities to make better use of the available space. We've also changed the Start, Duration, and End fields so you can see both dates and easily create multi-day activities.
In the list of Activities, we added information about Activity Type.
Adding Activities - You can now add activities directly from the Event screen without using the calendar.
We also fixed two issues - the screen was not always refreshing after recording. The data was being saved, but it wasn't showing on the screen, which led to confusion. Also, the ToDos were being created with the wrong "Channel". They were visible in the Event, but not visible in the general ToDo search because of the channel.
To the full screen of the block (which is full screen), we added all the details for the block - rate, manual price, adults and children, and code.
Event templates
We added the Activity Type field to the screen that lists all Activities part of the Event Template.
You can also now add a Template directly from the Event screen without going through the Calendar.
Other Improvements
Folios - added a filter for charges by revenue group.
Folios - voided folios - additional information - time and the user who voided - is now displayed in the main view.
Folios - a limit of 15 000 charges in a folio is applied. So far we have only generated ToDo's when a certain number of charges is reached. However, many folios remained unprocessed and this caused problems in subsequent operations with them.
Folios - added the option to redeem gift vouchers purchased through the Gift Voucher webshop.
Folios - (hotel) billing info - we added City to the folio printouts in the Issued by section
Adyen - when paying with an S3 card (e.g. virtual cards received from the channel manager) a second card is no longer created.
Payment Report (new) - has been optimized and works on backend.
Added the 'Urgent' checkbox in the ToDo Action Plan configuration
Charges By Rooms Report - added the option to see the booking guest details - names and number of guests. To view this information select the 'show Guest data' checkbox after generating the report. In addition, we have redesigned the report so that by default only rooms for which there are charges are displayed. If you want to see all rooms, regardless of whether they have charges on the given date, select the 'show Rooms without charges' checkbox. Printing is optimised.
Fixes
Self Service Portal - the button for adding additional services has been changed to prevent double clicks.
Virtual Rooms - with certain configurations of virtual rooms, there was a discrepancy in the number of available rooms in Rate and Availability and Occupancy Forecast.
Events - archived rates are no longer available for selection in the Blocks.
Events - changed 'related bookings' to reflect only the number of active bookings.
