Impove Timeline visual appearance for improved working conditions & accessibility
We're new to MEWS and whilst the functionality is brilliant (thank you), our front of house team really struggle with the visual appearance of the timeline. Spending lots of screen time on a screen with poor visual appearance and contrasts is not healthy and inefficient as it is difficult to see the timeline at a glance - please could you look at improving visual contrasts both colours and lines between dates/spaces for improved accessibility.
Thank you very much

Oh yeah and folios with notes on them would have a "yellow dot" at the end

ADD COLORS to timeline!!!
One thing I sure miss from cloudbeds PMS was all the colors and symbols you could see on their calendar view. Mews is all gray and black, besides being so depressing, it is not user friendly or intuitive.
You should have a green color for IN HOUSE PEOPLE
Gray or black for Checked out guests
Blue or something else for CONFIRMED reservations
Orange or light blue for PENDING status reservations: meaning that if there is something missing (declined cards, cc names not matching, etc) in that reservation we can easily see it
Pending balances used to have a "red dot" at the endThese things make a huge difference. Specially when you are a smaller property that doesn't have a reservations department or manager.

We need to identify fastly the reservation statuts in the Timeline as proposition / Option / partial payment / confirmed (totaly paid) / Check out/ Out of Service / Out of Order / Comp or In house reservation .
A different color for the name for OTA/Agency / group (+ icons to difference the groups each ones)

Marion Leijtens commented
YES!!! I just wanna to request an icon. But same request like this one. Colour might be even more clear. We want of course a max of re-books per weekend and would like to have a clear overview in the timeline.

Due to the Corona virus we offer all our guests a new arrival date in the future . We want to add a color to these reservations to make it more visible for us . What do u think ?

This will make reservations at one glance so much easier. We use to have the following as an example:
Light blue - provisional no depoist taken
Dark blue - deposit taken
Green - paid in full
Pienk - Auto expire if payment is not loaded
Red - Outstanding account
Yellow - In house
Grey - Checked out and bill settled in fullThis helps so much if you have a lot of rooms to get a status check across all room.
Thank you

Would be very helpful to see from the timeline bookings that are paid (when balance is 0) by different color from bookings that still has to pay

It would be quicker and easier to identify VIP, Honeymooners, Repeat guests if there was a colour coding system - one look at the reservation would alert you to this important informormation.

Different colors between confirmed reservation and option instead of just a dot line. Makes it easier to recognize for large group bookings.

for hostels would be a better overview to see which beds belong to the same room

ADD CHOICE OF COLORS IN RESERVATIONS
-
Georgina Reservations commented
That would be so useful!!!!

Please also add a special icon/color for "late check-outs", so the reception can better distinguish them from "normal" check-out reservations.

Big disappointment that we cannot change color for each reservation as other PMS systems.
It is so helpful for a quick eye overview... -
Miira Radjenovic commented
All other PMS Systems, they are colour coded to stand out. MEWS has too many same colours or slightly the same. May change to brighter colours on the Timeline eg: Green for Arrivals, Pink for Departed, Blue to inhouse/Stays, Orange for Maintenance/Out of Order....
EVENTS - should be alot larger to see than the current view.
Also Days on the Timeline, please give us the option to have them on separate days instead of overlapping, it's such a big mess! -
Peter Kmeto commented
That is a wonderful idea.
We have to put "internal" everytime for checked in guests and take it out after they check out. Either check mark next to name, or differentiate it by color, f.e. in green color all the paid reservations... I think all the hostels would really appreciate this feature as many guests extend their stay and pay later or other xy circumstances.... -

It would be better for reception to have the line between the different cateogiers thicker so that you can see better when a new category starts.
