# Your dashboard

The page most front desks leave open all day.

The dashboard answers the four questions the front desk is asked most: **who is arriving, who is leaving, which rooms are free, and what needs attention right now.**

You land here automatically when you sign in at `http://<your-server>:82`.

## The five counters along the top

| Counter                | Means                                   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Arrivals today**     | Bookings due to check in today          |
| **Departures today**   | Bookings due to check out today         |
| **In house**           | Guests currently checked in             |
| **Booked / confirmed** | Upcoming stays not yet arrived          |
| **Free rooms**         | Available now, out of the hotel's total |

## Arriving today and Departing today

Two lists, each showing the room, the guest's name, the booking status and the dates.

**Work down the arrivals list at the start of a shift.** Are those rooms clean? Is anything special requested? Does anyone need an early check-in?

**Check departures out as they happen**, not in a batch at noon — that is what releases the room and tells housekeeping to go and clean it.

## The room board

Every room as a tile, with two views:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Overview" %}
Each room shows its number, type, current status and the guest's name. Filter by floor, or by status — **Checked in**, **Confirmed**, **Free**.

Use the search box to jump straight to one room.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Calendar" %}
The same rooms against a date. Move with **<**, **Today** and **>**, or pick a date directly.

This is how you answer "do you have anything for the 14th?" without opening the reservation list at all.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Service requests

Live alerts from the rooms — Do Not Disturb, Make Up Room and Butler calls, newest first, each with the room number and the time.

See [Service requests](/inels-harmony/reception/service-requests.md) for what each one means and what to do about it.

## The two shortcuts

* **New reservation** — straight into the booking wizard. See [Taking a booking](/inels-harmony/reception/taking-a-booking.md).
* **Room controls** — the full room grid, where you can adjust heating and lighting. See [Controlling a room](/inels-harmony/reception/controlling-a-room.md).

## A shift, from the dashboard

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Start of shift

Read arrivals and departures. Check service requests for anything left unacknowledged overnight.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### As guests arrive

Find them in Arriving today, check them in, issue the card. The board updates as you go.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### As guests leave

Check each one out the moment they hand the key back. Housekeeping is waiting on it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Through the day

Watch the bell. Butler calls keep repeating until somebody acknowledges them.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enquiries

Use the calendar view for availability questions — it is much faster than the reservation list.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Leave this tab open.** The dashboard refreshes by itself and service requests arrive live. Most front desks keep it on a second screen all day. If it ever looks stale, **Refresh** forces a reload.
