  1. I love the search bar navigation. I use it to find almost all reports or settings even though I know where to find a lot of this stuff in the menus. It's still just faster to get places on the search bar. I also really love the shortcuts provided for the commonly used things.

    I want there to be a shortcut that places my cursor on the search bar. It just makes sense to me that if you already have your hands on the keyboard and the next thing you are going to do is type a search, it would…

  3. Since the new update a chat icon for mews support has been added in the left corner. With the computers in our hotel we can´t change resolutions which causes issues as the icon is blocking some of the tasks in reservation. Is there a possibilty to disable this icon per account or move it slightly?

    Hello from the Mews product team!

    We are pleased to let you know that the chat bubble no longer appears automatically, and will only show if there's an ongoing conversation happening. Please note the chat bubble disappears only after you finish your conversation with the digital assistant (by clicking on end chat). 


    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

    Hello,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Mews currently supports a rooming list in Excel format that enables you to add guests details to a file and upload them to Mews.


    You can learn more about the rooming list in the guide and below, the guide also contains a video on how to use the feature.

    https://help.mews.com/s/article/manage-group-reservations-with-a-rooming-list?language=en_US


    Should you have any questions, please contact our support team.

  5. add rolling releases to availability blocks so FIT allotments can be managed, e.g. 7 days prior to arrival.

    Hello Agnes,


    Thank you for sharing your request with us. It is currently possible to add a new guest profile when adding another reservation to an existing group.


    In order to do this, you can click on the  add another reservation button > Mews will pre-fill the date range and open the second step of the new reservation screen > In the customer section select the "X" to remove the current profile that has been pre-filled and add the name of the new customer you would like to add. This will create a new reservation with the name of the new customer to your group.


    Should you have any issues, please contact our customer care team.

  7. Availability block report there are two statuses: optional & Confirmed. I would request that you can also have a cancelled state aswell. That way you can have a overview of all cancelled blocks, statistics regarding which blocks were picked up and easier communication within the hotel and the booker.

  8. 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)

  9. Insert a day by day rate per block manually instead of selecting an existing rate that has the wrong prices. Because we don't have fix block prices and maybe there are multiple blocks for one day with another rate.

  10. In a big chain with 12500+ travel agents, it is a must to being able to look on IATA number. A lot of TA's have the same name but may have another IATA number.

  11. we are not able to see anywhere the list of names when doing a search. not when making a booking, not when adding a guest to a booking, nothing nowhere.
    this is a huge issue as bookings can't be completed or amended and mistakes are being made. can't even add a booker who has now asked me twice already for the payment link to be sent to her!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Simone,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We have identified the source of this bug and have resolved it with our team.


    Should this issue persist for you, please contact us as soon as possible.


    Kind regards,

    Aldair

  12. Please allow for different room quantity allotments over each date to reflect typical room block patterns. Currently, I can only enter the same amount of rooms over each date, that is not how blocks usually work and it prevents me from easily entering the rooming list in the block once it goes definite.

    Hi Kenna,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It is currently possible to set room quantity per day, per space category in a block.


    In order to do this, click the "Adjust" button on the block dashboard > Select a date where you'd like to remove availability and manual enter the number. This action can be done for any date within the block, whereas the bulk update option allows you to set different room quantities for a selected period.


    If you encounter any issues with the above, please contact our support team.


    Kind regards,

    Mews Product Team.

  13. until recently I was able to send emails to guests from my cell phone. Something has changed and now I am not able to access the send button so I can't send emails from my phone anymore.
    I could do this, then it recently changed, I sent an email and it was updated, but just went back to not being an option a week ago :(
    thanks

    Hello from the Mews product team.


    We are so pleased to let you know that we have reviewed this case and re-enabled the ability to send emails from mobile devices in Mews.


    Thank you again for sharing your feedback!

  14. i am trying to make a new booking for a guest as part of a "group".
    however, the system does not let me chose the correct service option and insists i book a cot instead of an apartment.
    totally pointless.
    i do not wish to make a new reservation from the guest profile as i wish to keep all the other information of the current booking. reason is that there is a short break in the existing booking and not a complete new one.
    thank you for investigating and fixing.
    PS - this is not the first time this happens…

    Hello from the Mews product team. 


    We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. 


    You are now able to select your additional service or room when creating an additional reservation from an existing group.


    Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us!

  15. When selecting a room on the timeline and seeing the Details pane on the right side of the screen. Mews displays whether the guest has "checked-in online" or if they are "to be checked-in", however doesn't show the status of the room ie. CLE, DIR or INS.
    Would be beneficial to see if the room is clean or not to enable a faster and more pleasant check-in experience for the guest.
    A simple icon (similar to the one on the "Room Status" section) would be incredibly helpful.

    Hello from the Mews product team. 


    We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. You can now see the status of the room in the reservation "smart detail". Accessible by selecting the reservations "details" button. Or by selecting a reservation from the Timeline.


    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  16. Would be nice if the room number shows up behind the name while using the search bar. If you look up a name now, you have to click on the name before you see the room number.

  17. it is actually unworkable as it will try to update for at least 2 minutes (no exaggeration!)
    it does it for as good as all the actions you and you basically need to open a new mews session (or risk that you forgot what you were about to do in the first place)

    Hi Simone,

    We are happy to inform you that we have resolved the performance issues for the system.

    You and your team should be able to run Mews at an improved speed. Should you continue to experience performance issues, please do let us know.

  18. How is is not possible to move guests to another room, without making a new reservation or splitting a reservation. Too much work in to a simple action. Too much work where is no extra time for these trying times with too little employees.

    Hello Sjoerd,

    Thank you for contacting the Mews Product team.

    We currently offer several ways to move reservations including dragging and dropping reservations to another room from the timeline, as well as the ability to move reservations to another space from the status tab of the reservation screen or to a different space category from the properties tab on the reservations screen.

    Below you will find a guide that will walk you through each of the options offered. Should you have any additional questions, please contact our support team.

  19. Is it possible to make the task field in MEWS bigger again so that you can drag the field to write info in it?

    Before the update, you could drag the "Description" window larger using the arrows at the bottom right.
    It would be great if that were possible again. Thank you in advance. Tina

  20. Hi, it would begerat if the product report showed all products, not only stay products, as we have many products and would like to find and filter them for statistics.
