Your toolbar

Ok, let's take a look at your toolbar. Click here to see a popup that you can keep open while you follow this guide.



The first row is common to all property users, be they receptionists or managers. 

If you are a receptionist type user then you will see just the next row (options 5-12),

If you are a property manager, then you'll also see the third row (although possibly not options 18, 23 or 24).

Let's look at each of these rows in more depth.

The first row has several fields, they are as follows:

1. Property switch field : if you have more than one property on the sytem then you can switch your current property using this dropdown. The number after the property name is your unique property id.
2. Initial select field : If you have multiple properties you can quickly navigate in the dropdown list to the properties with a certain first character using this dropdown.
3. Booking number search : Input booking numbers here to search for them by pressing return after filling the input box.
4. Clicks : A simple count of the number of clicks your property has received.

The next row of buttons link to reception specific functions, which are as follows

5.   Dashboard
6.   Preview : you can view your property's information as a site visitor would see it.
7.   New booking : Click on a guest's name to view/edit that booking
8.   List bookings : List all bookings for the property.
9.   New bookings : List all bookings where the deposit is not marked as paid.
10. Book a guest in : You can mark a guest as arrived
11. Book a guest out : You can mark a guest as left
12. Guest admin : View and edit guests

We will not go into depth regarding the reception specific functionality as it's all self explanatory.

The third row is for Property Manager specific functionality

13. Property Admin
14. Black bookings
15. Audit trail
16. Guest types
17. Extras
18. Edit language

22. General Configuration
23. New property : Depending on your system's configuration, you may or may not see this icon
24. Bug reporting : You will only see this icon if you are a Super Property Manager

We will now review some of the first steps you need to perform to get a working booking form for your property.
