The **Calendar** tab shows your reservations on a timeline. Each unit in the property you're viewing gets its own row, and every stay appears as a bar across the dates it covers. The Calendar has two views, switched with the toggle at the top of the screen: the **Timeline** (the default, described just below) and the **Agenda** — a compact [day-at-a-glance list](#agenda-view-the-day-at-a-glance) of who arrives, leaves, and is staying. ## How to read the timeline * **Rows are units.** The unit's code (or name) labels each row down the left side. Dates run across the top. * **Bars are reservations.** A bar spans a booking's check-in to check-out on that unit's row. Tap a bar to open the reservation. * **Dashed lines mark each day.** A faint dashed vertical line falls on the check-in time of every day, so the space between two lines is one night — count the lines across an empty stretch to read how many nights a unit is free. * **Units / Staff toggle.** Above the timeline you can switch between **Units** (the default — one row per unit) and **Staff** (one row per teammate, for seeing assigned work across the schedule). When you're viewing more than one property at once, units are grouped under a collapsible header for each property so you can tell them apart. ## What the colors mean Reservation bars are colored by status, and task blocks (in the **Staff** view) by their status. A collapsible **Legend** at the bottom of the Calendar maps each color to its label — tap **Legend** to expand it. It has two groups: * **Reservations** — Requested, Confirmed, Checked In, Checked Out, Cancelled, and No Show. See [reservation statuses](/reservations/view-a-reservation#reservation-statuses) for what each one means. * **Tasks** — Pending, In Progress, Completed, and Cancelled. ## Moving around by date The timeline opens on the current week. To move: * **Today** — the **Today** button snaps the timeline back to the current week. * **Previous / Next** — the chevron buttons (**\<** and **>**) step the view backward or forward by the window you're currently looking at. * **Jump to a date** — the in the top-left corner opens a date picker; choose a date to jump straight there. * **Pan and zoom** — drag the timeline to pan across dates, and pinch to zoom in and out, from a single day up to a whole year at a glance. Short tasks are hidden when you're zoomed too far out for them to be legible — a brief job appears only once you zoom in close enough to see it, while longer jobs stay visible from a wider view. On a computer, the left and right arrow keys also step the timeline back and forward while the Calendar is open. ## Agenda view — the day at a glance The timeline is best for spans and gaps. When you just want to know **who arrives, who leaves, and who's staying** on a given day, switch to the **Agenda** view with the view toggle at the top of the Calendar. It lists a single day, grouped into three sections: * **Arrivals** — guests checking in that day, with their check-in time. * **Departures** — guests checking out that day. * **In-house** — guests staying through the day (they arrived earlier and leave later), each showing the date they check out. Every row shows the unit, the guest's name, the time, and a status badge, and any pending **prep and cleaning tasks** for that stay appear just beneath it. Tap a row to open the reservation. Move between days with the **\<** and **>** arrows, and tap the date at the top — labelled **Today** on the current day — to jump back to today. When a day has nothing booked, the Agenda shows **Nothing scheduled**. ## Add a reservation To enter a booking yourself — a walk-in, a phone reservation, or anything that didn't come from a connected channel — tap **New Reservation** (the **+** button in the top-right of the Calendar). The **New Reservation** button opens a blank reservation form. Set the **Status**, the **Check-in – Check-out** dates, the **Check-out Time**, and an optional **Expected Arrival Time**. Then pick the **Property** and the **Unit** the guest is staying in. Under **Guest**, enter the booker's **First name** (required), and optionally their **Last name**, **Phone**, and **Email**. Record the number of **Adults**, **Children**, and **Infants**, whether they're **Travelling with a pet**, and any **Accessibility** or **Dietary** notes the housekeeper should know. The reservation is saved and appears on the timeline on its unit's row. **Create** stays disabled until the required fields are filled: the check-in and check-out dates, the **Property**, and the guest's **First name**. ## Opening a reservation Tap any reservation bar to open its details, where you can view the stay, the guests on it, the tourist tax, and linked tasks. See [View a reservation](/reservations/view-a-reservation) for a tour of the details sheet and [Manage guest details](/reservations/manage-guests) for the guests on a stay. ## It remembers your place The Calendar keeps its position as you move around the app. If you scroll to a future week and then switch to **Chats** or **Tasks**, you'll come back to the same spot rather than being reset to today. To deliberately return to the current week, tap the **Calendar** tab again while you're already on it — this snaps the timeline back to today. ## When there are no units yet A unit is a rentable space — a room, apartment, or villa. Until your property has at least one unit, the Calendar has no rows to draw, so it shows **No units yet** with a **Create your first unit** button. This takes you to your property's unit setup. Give it a code, a name, a type, and a maximum number of guests. Once a unit exists, it appears as a row on the timeline. Reservations for it show up automatically from your connected channels, and you can also [add one yourself](#add-a-reservation). Full steps: [Manage units](/properties/manage-units). ## Next Open a booking to see its guests, tax, and tasks. View and edit the guests on a stay.
