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

I'd like to be able to sort the timeline by room number and not be limited to seeing it only by room category. Additionally, having the ability within Property Settings to choose what color represents what within the platform would be very helpful. For example, Orange is a great color, but it has never said dirty to me. Red for OOS is great but OOS is so infrequently used at my property I'd prefer seeing red used for dirty. Looking at the timeline by reservation status would be helpful, such as all due to arrive reservations. Sorting by name would help to find consecutive reservations booked by Guests at separate times, enabling the locking of the same room to both reservations.

Please make this happen, all other PMS systems we have used in the past or looked at have it. Especially important for at a glance status of payments

Dear development team,
We kindly request an enhancement to our current booking system interface. We would like to have more color options available for guest identification in our timeline view.
Currently, the non-existing color palette makes it difficult to visually distinguish between different guest categories or booking types in our calendar/timeline display. Having an expanded color selection would greatly improve our ability to quickly identify and categorize guests at a glance.
This feature would help us:Create a more intuitive visual organization system
Improve staff efficiency when reviewing the booking timeline
Reduce errors in guest management
Better distinguish between different booking types, special requirements, or guest statusesThank you for considering our request.
Best regards, -

It would be great to have the icons color-coded on the timeline so that they are more obvious to staff. For example, currently after you move a reservation into a higher space category, an upward arrow icon appears on the reservation block in front of the customer's name, indicating an upgrade of the booking. However, this little arrow can be easily missed by staff that need to be aware of upgrades, so it would be great to have an option to color code this icon or make it more obvious somehow.

Hi this is really important for us! This could be solved with a colored border. We need Groups in different Colors.

Auch eine wichtige Funktion die uns helfen würde zusammengehörende Gäste auf einen Blick zu erkennen!

schön wäre auch, wenn man dabei auf einen Blick sehen könnte, um wie viele Personen es sich in der Gruppe handelt. Man sieht auf den ersten Blick immer nur die Anzahl der Zimmer.

Have the option to choose different colours for different things to highlight in the time line should be a really good improvement.

Mejoría la gestión de reservas directas.

Sería de gran utilidad poder cambiar de color las reservas en la visulaización de linea del tiempo.
Por ejemplo para reservas de las cuales necesitemos revisar algo, ponerlas en color amarillo, reservas de grupos-poder tenerlas en un mismo color para poder localizarlas muy rapido en la linea del tiempo etc... Reservas "provisionales" a reconfirmar más tarde con el cliente, tenerlas en otro color etc etc... -
Sonja Weichert commented
Yep, that would be great. Also a colour to highlight a VIP etc would be important.

Auf dieses Feature warte ich, seit ich von protel Air zu Mews gewechselt bin! Gerade für Business-Hotels, die viele Reservierungen von Firmen mit mehreren Zimmern verwalten, wäre dies eine unglaubliche Arbeitserleichterung

Sonja Weichert commented
I would love to add custom colors for many different things - a VIP guest, a problematic guest, open bills, groups, optional bookings etc. - it would be super handy
