Your toolbar
Ok, let's take a look at your toolbar (don't worry! - its not as complicated as it looks).
The first row (1 - 16) in red, is common to all property users (except for the editing mode switch), be they receptionists or managers.
If you are a receptionist type user then you will see only this row,
If you are a property manager, then you'll also see the second row (17 - 29) in blue although possibly not options 26, 27, 28 or 29.
Let's look at each of these rows in more depth.

A quick note about black bookings:
Black bookings is a term used to define bookings which are not made by a guest. Instead they are used by the system in place (in this case Jomres) to take the room or rooms out of service, either for renovation or because the property is on holiday. When you create a new black booking you need to define the start and finish dates of the booking. Change those dates then click the blue Refresh button, this will scan the availability of all rooms in the property and highlight any that are already booked for that period. If a room is booked then you are offered a link for every booking for that room. Rooms which can be black booked have a check box against them (already booked rooms can't, you'll need to cancel the booking first), when you have selected all the rooms you want to include in this black booking click Save and these rooms will be removed from service for the period selected.
