Navigating the Android mobile booking app

The Android Mobile Booking App opens on the Home Screen. From here, you can easily navigate the app to find the information you want or create a new booking.

Using the app home screen

Now that you're on the home screen, you can see a summary of your bookings, organized into groups to enable quick access to the most relevant upcoming information.

Tapping on one of these groups opens up a new screen containing a list of all the matching bookings. These bookings can then be viewed based on the Customer who has made the booking or the items that belong to the bookings.

Make your choice by tapping the Customers or Items button at the top of the screen.

Filtering bookings

New:

A list of all new bookings in your Checkfront account since the last user login.

Tomorrow:

Bookings begin the following day.

Today:

Bookings that start on the current day.

Open:

Currently active bookings. This includes bookings that start today plus already ongoing bookings.

Ending:

Bookings that are ending on the current day.

Upcoming:

Bookings that begin on the current day or the next seven days.

Bookmarks:

Find by Calendar:

Tap this option to access a monthly calendar. Any days containing a booking contain a grey circle with the number of bookings displayed in white. Tap on any of these to access a list of the bookings for that day.

The display can be filtered further using the options at the top of the screen. These are Starting, In Progress, and Ending. If an option is active, it is highlighted in bold blue. If an option is not active, it is presented in grey.
