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

    Underneath dates in Timeline - to show current restrictions, events in house, city events and public holidays.

    Would be good to have an icon or something on every booking on timeline that identifies to staff to clearly let them know if that booking is not paid up to date

    I find the color choices really strange. For example, when I see grey I think the reservation is from the past, when I see blue I don't feel like I need to do anything. It is not really logical if you don't know what it means.
    My color proposal would be the following:
    -Gray --> Past reservations
    -Black--> Out of Order
    -Blue--> To be checked in (Reservations of the day)
    -Green --> Already checked in
    -Orange--> To be checked out.
    -Red--> The check out need to be done, the room was supposed to be checked out before.
    -Clearer Grey / White --> future reservations

    Just my humble opinion!

    Kind regards,

    Laura from Yalo Hotel Boutique Ghent.

    Stronger colours please so easier to differentiate.

  • Tasia Frame commented  ·   ·  Report

    Colours on the timeline are very faded into the background and it makes it hard to distinguish for example the red and orange. Maybe the whole room could highlight in the same colour for it to stand out more.

  • Steve commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed!
    Boomer as I am, almost ready for reading glasses, can you imagine trying to see the difference between 50 shades of any colour...

  • Thomas Beger commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally agree. It should be possible to customise the colors in the timeline. That way it your be way easier to see who is checked in, out, stay over. Maybe even if it is a direct booker or OTA.

    It would be very helpful If we could change the colour of the FEMALE dorms in the Timeline to prevent any issues. Thank you

    The colors on the timeline just make it more difficult to manage our inventory. Having the OOO rooms in a brighter color made it simple to track. Having everything in shades of grey is NOT an improvement

  • peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree - Its easy to lose the OOO rooms which were so simple to track with a glance previously - all grey is not an upgrade!!

  • Jason Ordiway commented  ·   ·  Report

    New update changed calendar/timeline colors to 50 shades of gray, why!!!???

    so,

    Out of order: dark gray
    Future stay: less dark gray
    checked out: light gray

    Why???

    Departures: light blue
    People checking in: light blue

    Who is designing your UI, probably same genius who designs your billing screens (old and new)
