Display Availability Blocks on timeline
When viewing the timeline availability blocks are not visible, it would be good to be able to see availability blocks on the timeline.
When the team look at the timeline it is misleading regarding availability if large availability blocks are in place.

Hello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

In the timeline it misslead the reception staff and events team when the pickup is not done on the availability block, and this situation leads to unecessary errors and misinformation. Also after the pickup being done to be visible on the timeline, every time you add a deposit of each guest it goes to the main profile associated to the booking when it was made the pickup, and you have to go to that billing and change the owner to the correct person. Also the process to find the booking on the reservations overview is more dificult when the pickup is made all with the same name (that has to be done to be able to be visable on the timeline). Would be great as well to be able to see on the timeline everytime you have a voucher for the full hotel from a specific date, so the reception or the events team don't give availability when there is not, because the full hotel is to be reserved by the voucher. Also it would be great if it would be visible on the timeline when we close sales for specific dates (it does not show any information on the timeline when you close sales).

It looks in the timeline that we have rooms available. But there is availability blocks that's not shown in the timeline, it is miss leading and the front desk can think there is availability but actual there is no rooms available due to the availability block.
Would be helpful if the block could be shown in the timeline with a link to the actual block.

This is crucial to us too, especially as optional bookings can be seen on the timeline.

Especially for those category overbookings it would be more helpful than only the red bars that are empty and you need to figure out, where it comes from..

This is very important to us !! Right now it just takes to long to figure out if there is a avalability block and then book it - it would be so much easiert to just show it on the timeline.

Ich fände es hilfreich, wenn bestehende Verfügbarkeitsblöcke in der Zeitachse mit angezeigt würden. Ich verschaffe mir gerne vor Buchung einen kurzen Überblick in der Zeitachse, was an dem Tag los ist. Wenn man eine Buchung anlegen will, werden die Zimmer aus dem Block als nicht mehr verfügbar angezeigt. Ich sehe, dass einiges verfügbar ist, aber bei Buchung dann nicht mehr. Dann muss ich erst im Verfügbarkeitsblock nachsehen (und auf die Idee kommen, dass es daran liegt), ob dort was hinterlegt ist. Eine andersfarbige Anzeige des Blocks würde sehr helfen.

Yes, need a way to view availability at a glance. I would like to know how many of x room type is left to sell with a summary, not a long grid of individual spaces.

Right now the allotment of availability blocks does not display in the calendar view. There should be some sort of way to inform the user visually (maybe a number next to the room type?) that an availability block has been allotted on a certain date.

Hi. We would like to see a report where we can see all the expected rooms and guest for a specific date. Even if those are a within a group were we have not picked up the rooms yet (but the group is confirmed, but we have not put the name list pick up yet) and thoose were we have. In other words total rooms sold for a specific date. This is a list for housekeeping to know how many rooms they need to clean every day ( by date/ roomtype and number of guest per room )

The Timeline is such a great tool. We use it to have a first glance of what rooms are available in certain dates while we are helping guests booking reservations. I wish there was a way to see Room Blocks in the Timeline.
Precious time is waisted trying to figure out why we cant book a reservation on certain days just by looking at the Time Line.

This is important as oftentimes we cannot immediately see any changes made by general or revenue management and thus miscommunication or overbooking accidents can occur. If we can reduce the amount of clicks we need to access necessary information and have it in front of us in two seconds, that would be the best for our hosts.

Additionally: it is possible to overbook the hotel when there is a Availability block. Blocked rooms are not considered as reserved when you make a date change to an existing reservering. No red line appears in Timelinke. VERY CRITICAL!

That would be amazing :-)

Currently it is not clear that an availability block is made, on the schedule board. It looks like there is availability, but it actually has an availability block on it.
So this is not visible on the planning board, and my colluages can not see that i made an availability block for this period en they can not make reservations. -

It would be great if the confirmed blocks are visible in the timeline as a provisional reservation.

Being able to see availability at a glance is vital for fast and efficient workflow.
