Calendar View and Navigation

Calendar View and Navigation

The occupancy calendar is the most effective way to visually monitor the hotel's room inventory. Designed in a Room-Day grid format, this calendar shows the status of each room over a specific date range at a glance. Rooms are displayed in rows, days in columns, and the intersection points show the status of that room on that day.

Color Coding System

The color coding system is the fundamental element that enhances the calendar's readability. Occupied rooms are shown in a specific color with the guest name or reservation number displayed on them. Vacant rooms are marked with a different color, indicating they are available for new reservations. Rooms under maintenance are shown with a separate color indicating they are closed for sale due to technical failure or renovation. Blocked rooms are used for rooms reserved for unconfirmed group reservations or special purposes. Touched rooms refer to rooms that have not yet been cleaned after check-out.

Date Range Selection

Date range selection determines the period to be displayed on the calendar. The default view typically covers a two-week period from today. Users can change the start and end dates to view the desired period. Forward and back arrow keys allow quick jumping by one day or one week. Clicking the Today button instantly returns the view to the current date.

Daily View

The daily view shows the status of all rooms on a single day. This view is especially used to assess the real-time situation on busy days. Each room's cleaning status, guest information, and check-in and check-out times are displayed. In the daily view, quick access to room details is available by clicking the room number.

Weekly View

The weekly view allows monitoring room occupancy in a seven-day window. This view is ideal for analyzing differences between weekday and weekend occupancy. Reservations are shown as horizontal bars, and the length of the bar is proportional to the length of stay.

Monthly View

The monthly view is used for long-term occupancy planning. In this view, overall occupancy percentages take precedence over individual room details. The total number of occupied rooms and occupancy rate are shown for each day. The monthly view is used as a decision support tool for pricing strategies and marketing campaigns.

Floor Filter

The floor filter allows isolating and displaying rooms on a specific floor. In large hotels, it is not practical to display all rooms simultaneously since there may be dozens or hundreds of rooms. By selecting the desired floor with the floor filter, only rooms on that floor are listed. Multiple floors can be selected simultaneously to create a comparative view.

Room Type Filter

The room type filter shows only rooms of a specific category. For example, only suite rooms or only standard rooms can be filtered. This filter is useful for quickly assessing the occupancy status of a particular room type.

Hovering the mouse cursor over a cell on the calendar displays detail information for that room on that day in a popup. Information such as guest name, stay dates, room type, board type, and special notes appears in this preview window. Clicking the cell navigates directly to the reservation detail page.
