You have all the freedom to twist combinations of days, months, and years right from the dropdowns to plan far into the future. ### Booking Colors Indicator We added brilliant colors so you can read exactly what's happening at a rapid glance! 1. **Green**: Paid and totally checked-in. (Their reservation status reads: Check-in Paid!) 2. **Blue**: Excellent, they've paid fully—but they haven't physically arrived just yet! (Reservation status: Paid). 3. **Grey**: The room is delightfully reserved but we haven't charged ’em, nor have we tried swiping their card. (Reservation status: Reserved). 4. **Purple**: Oh! This indicates a guest was physically moved directly from one hostel branch to another. (Reservation status: Reserved). 5. **Orange**: Heads up! The funds are temporarily holding securely on their card, but we haven't actually charged them. (Reservation status: Authorized).
### Date Range Selection Need a fresh perspective? The date range can be effortlessly tweaked using our handy date picker anchored right at the top right of the table structure. ## Table Architecture Our layout beautifully separates the confusing chaos of daily hospitality into rows and columns: ### Columns * **Dates**: Every single column boldly represents a new date along the calendar block, mapped across the top! ### Rows * **Rooms**: You'll catch a nicely drawn red line visually breaking apart completely different rooms. * **Beds**: The individual rows are famously labeled with letters (from A right up to Z), neatly organizing every bed under your roof. ### Booking Status Visibility The little cells scattered within the grid behave like windows to a guest's profile. We automatically paint those cells using the smart color indicators detailed up in the Booking Colors section! ### Viewing and Editing Booking Details Whenever you feel like taking a peek or editing a profile, enthusiastically click onto any guest's cell! Instantly, a detailed view will slide open letting you play around with the data safely.
