Understanding the booking traffic chart
Back to topBy default, the chart at the top of the page displays. This chart illustrates new bookings over time through bar and line graphs. The increments of time are determined by the date period selected.
Web Bookings are displayed as light blue bars. These are all bookings not processed through the Staff-side of Checkfront.
Staff Bookings are displayed as dark blue bars. These are all bookings processed through the Staff-side of Checkfront.
The red line graph reflects visitors to the Customer Booking page (Customers > Customer Booking page).
Traffic reports are not available per hour, only for specific dates over some time. |
Filtering by date
Back to topBy default, the report shows you the Last 3 months of data, but this can easily be modified by clicking the Date dropdown just above the Date column and selecting another preset period.
The date filter preset options shown include This month, Last month, Last 3 months, Last 6 Months, and All bookings.
You can report on a select date or date range by choosing the Custom option. This opens a date selector from which you can select a specific date or date range.
Remembering filters
Back to topYou can configure your account to retain your filter selections within most reports and features so you don't have to select your preferred filters repeatedly.
