Introducing: Today's Events, Today's Manifests and Default Start Pages
First off, I hope this finds you safe and healthy!
As things open back up, we realize that you may be working with a smaller staff than usual, so we're prioritizing a few features to help each employee get more done in less time.
With that in mind, I'd like to tell you about 3 great new features that we're rolling out today.
Today's Events
I'm sure you're familiar with the Event Detail screen that gives you an overview and 1st phase check-in option for a specific event.
Today's Events has all of the same functionality, but allows you to see and work on a full day of events on the same screen.
It defaults to the events for today, but you can easily navigate to a different date as well.
Here's a quick video that shows it in action:
Today's Manifests
Today's Manifests is a similar idea -- we've made all of your manifests for the current day (or any day) available on a single screen.
We use the same check-in logic here as on the standard manifest:
- By default, each system is configured for a 2-phase check-in, so you'll only see reservations on the manifest if they're already marked "checked-in" and ready for boarding.
- If you'd like to show "processed" (non-checked-in) reservations on your manifest, there's a setting in System Configuration->Workflow Settings to change that workflow.
Here's a quick video that shows it in action:
Default Start Page
We suspect that Today's Events or Today's Manifests might be the place that some employees spend most of their day, so we've given you the ability to set a default start page for each individual employee.
The default start page is where we'll take you immediately after you log-in, and we'll provide an extra shortcut at the top of the left navigation to go straight there.
We hope you find these new features helpful as things start to open back up.
Please feel to reach out if you have questions about this, or if there's anything else we can help with.
Wishing you all the best.
