Before

Search Bar
The search bar has been completely redesigned. The previous search acted as an in-grid filter you would select a field type from a sidebar (Folio No, GR Card No, Group ID, Mobile, Bill No, Reservation No) and the Stay View calendar would filter accordingly. The new search opens a modal that simultaneously searches across Bookings, Guest database, Business Sources, Travel Agents, and Companies showing exactly which field matched the query and allowing direct editing of results.
Before
Previous search filters the Stay View calendar grid with a sidebar field selector
After
New search Bookings tab showing results with matched field highlighted
New search Guest database tab with contact info, country and phone
New search Company database tab with balance, credit limit and status
here is what Changed in the New Search bar and How it is different than previous one
| Change | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Bookings only | Bookings, Guests, Business Sources, Travel Agents, Companies |
| Match Visibility | No indicator of matched field | Matched field name and value highlighted in each result |
Reservation Colors & Status Indicators
The reservation bar colors and status legend have been updated with a more distinct, accessible, and consistent color scheme. The new palette uses softer, better-differentiated colors that are easier to identify at a glance across a busy calendar view.
Status Legend
Before: Previous status legend with previous colors
After : New status legend with updated color palette
Reservation Bar & Booking Indicators
Previously, all booking indicator icons were permanently displayed on every reservation bar. This created visual clutter, particularly for properties with many rooms. In the new design, each bar shows only the booking source icon and guest name. All other indicators appear in a clean hover tooltip when you move the cursor over a reservation.
Before: Previous Stay View multiple indicator icons on every reservation bar, making it visually busy
After : New Stay View hovering a reservation shows a clean tooltip with applicable booking indicators
Indicators Now Shown on Hover Only
- Group Owner
- Group Booking
- Payment Pending
- Stop Room Move
- Single Lady
- VIP Guest
- Split Reservation
Maintenance Blocks
Maintenance blocks on the Stay View calendar have been visually improved. Previously they appeared as a plain solid dark bar with the generic caption “MAINTENANCE BLOCK”, giving no context about the reason. In the new design, maintenance blocks use a distinctive diagonal stripe pattern with the actual block reason shown directly on the bar (e.g. “AC REPAIRING”, “PAINTING WORK IS GOING ON”, “BATHROOM CLEANING”).
Before : Previous solid dark bar, generic “MAINTENANCE BLOCK” label
After : New diagonal stripe pattern with actual reason (e.g. “AC REPAIRING”)
| Feature | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Style | Solid dark-colored bar | Diagonal stripe (hatched) pattern |
| Label | Generic “MAINTENANCE BLOCK” text | Actual reason (e.g. “AC REPAIRING”, “BATHROOM CLEANING”) |
| Readability | No context visible without opening | Reason immediately visible on the bar |
| Differentiation | Could be confused with reservations | Visually distinct from all reservation bar types |
Daily Occupancy Footer
The footer row at the bottom of the Stay View calendar shows daily occupancy per date column. Previously only a plain number was shown. The updated design adds a color-coded progress bar alongside each percentage, allowing staff to visually scan availability across dates without reading every individual number. Before : Previous footer occupancy displayed as plain numbers only
After : New footer color-coded progress bars alongside percentages for quick visual scanning
What This Means for Your Team
The Simplified StayView delivers a cleaner, faster, and more intuitive calendar experience so your front desk team can focus on guests, not the interface.
Universal Search
One search modal covers Bookings, Guests, Business Sources, Travel Agents, and Companies.
Less Visual Clutter
Reservation bars show only the source icon and guest name; all other indicators appear on hover.
Maintenance Clarity
Diagonal-striped blocks show the actual reason directly on the bar no need to open the block.
Occupancy at a Glance
Color-coded progress bars in the footer let staff scan availability across all dates instantly.
Consistent Colors
16 predefined colors for Status and Reservation Type ensure clarity and consistency across properties.
