This is so obvious.

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

Display availability blocks on timeline also assists other departments such as HSK, F&B & Kitchen with forward planning and rostering with a quick line of sight of upcoming stays

Being able to see blocks from the timeline leaves no room for error when checking availability. Its quicker, easy to read and you can clearly see your full availably at a glance. It takes 6 clicks to get to the availably screen for the dates you require, which is too long in our fast paced world.

A badge should show at the top of the timeline showing the total number of rooms on availability blocks not yet picked up (ie not yet showing on the room grid) - similar in style to the calendar events...

Makes customer experience much more enjoyable when we can quickly check availability for different rooms via the timeline and jump between dates. Makes it clearly visible for us

Being able to see the block allows us to advise enquiries on the availability for their dates faster and prevents us from having to look at reports to determine why it is restricted

We are all using the timeline to have a look at availability as it is a much easier visual tool than always looking back and forth at the availability block. The blocked room should appear in dotted lines, same way as optional bookings

It would be helpful to see the group block with the dotted line as a feature in Timeline.
When the sales team on the phone we no longer have the ability to see where gaps are to fill the hotels.

There needs to be a dotted line indicating the availability block on the timeline. Or colour. But either way, the Front Desk team need to be able to see the block somehow otherwise they are going to do over bookings.

Availability blocks should be visible in timeline. When they are not visible, they are basically useless. it is too confusing for front desks for example, when they are not there.
Also for sales team it is very important to see the "whole picture" in the time line ( reservations, blocks...).

Hi

Still no progress re this much awaited improvement? Mews indicated in some webinar Q&A back in time, that this would happen.

Just to be 100% clear, it would indeed be nice to have then, Mews sticking to uniform terms (and colors?) re Availability blocks status being visible on Timeline vs the normal Timeline request/booking status.
I.e. terms/markings to mean the same in both Timeline and Availability Blocks =
“Picked-up” (Availability Blocks) VS
(i) “Inquired” (= not blocked (for any public reservations) but marked in Timeline);
(ii) “Optional” (= blocked);
(iii) “Confirmed” (= blocked (for a certain person) and legally binding). )

Yes, I had to stop using the availability blocks as our Front Desk and reservations teams would get so confused as to why it should plenty of rooms on the timeline and not on the availability screen.

Yes please, especially for availability blocks with status "confirmed". Blocks should have a dedicated color.
