Room Groups
When creating multiple rooms under a room type, they are automatically grouped. This is useful for similar rooms (e.g., "Standard Room × 4"), and availability is managed automatically.
Room Statuses
Each room has two combined indicators visible in the admin panel:
| Displayed Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Vacant · Clean | Unoccupied and ready |
| Vacant · Dirty | Unoccupied but needs cleaning |
| Reserved | Booking exists but guest has not checked in yet |
| Occupied | Guest is currently checked in |
| Maintenance | Not available due to maintenance |
The housekeeping status (set via Change Room Status) includes: Ready, Cleaning, Not Ready, and Maintenance.
After check-out, the status automatically changes to Cleaning, making the room Vacant · Dirty until marked as Ready.
Updating Room Status
- Go to Inventory → Rooms
- Select the room(s)
- Click Actions → Change Room Status
- Choose the new status
- Add notes if needed
- Save
All changes are logged automatically.
