Introduction

The Reservations Calendar is one of the most important parts of the PMS. It's a tool that helps have an overall view of the reservations in relation to time.

The calendar is responsive, meaning it will show you less information and capabilities on a mobile phone (due to screen limitations), while it will show you more information if you have a large screen. For example, on a Samsung S series phone, you will see around 7 days, while on a 1920x1080 pixels desktop screen you can see up to 2,5 months.

In the Reservations Calendar there is no right mouse click functionality, in order to provide a unified user experience among different devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop). For example, on a tablet there is no concept of "right click". The tools though behave differently in single and double clicks (on finger taps).

The Reservations Calendar consists of a toolbar and the main calendar.

The Toolbar

The toolbar has various buttons that are grouped together:

[TODO: Show the different parts of the toolbar ONLY. Like zooming on the toolbar only and putting separate numbering on button groups ONLY on toolbar]

The date picker provides the ability to move to a specific day in the past or the future, or just start from today. Read more about the date picker.

[TODO: Show only a reservation bar with yellow color, booking.com agency and latin name, that would have white space around it (no other reservations near)]

[TODO: Show the same bar but along with the tooltip that appears when clicking on it, so the screenshot should include the popup that appears (bottom or top) with extra info]


By double clicking on a reservation it opens the reservation window and you can view all details about this reservation

The reservations are colored differently depending on the reservation status, payment or agency. From calendar options you can select what you want to see (status, payment or agency) and the colors that suit you.
