Hi Mews Community ✌

We've been reworking the Availability Block Report and we're now ready to open a beta. We'd love your honest input before we roll it out to everyone.

 

What's new in this version

The report has been migrated to our new table component, bringing a significantly more powerful experience for managing group business day-to-day:

  • Column show/hide — tailor the report to your workflow. New opt-in columns include Release Rule Type, Segment, Reservation Purpose, Pickup Distribution, PO Number, Company, and Travel Agency.

  • Saved view — added/removed columns can be reorganized and saved.

  • Filtering, and sorting — filter by Status, search by Name.

  • Excel export — preserved from the current version, with the new columns included.

  • Pick-up vs. blocked spaces — the most-requested addition. You can now see, per block and per service, how many spaces have been picked up out of the total blocked, without having going into the block detail.

 

A note on Booker, Company, and Travel Agency filters

We know filters on Booker, Company, and Travel Agency are important for group operations. These are actively being worked on and will be added as the beta progresses — we didn't want to delay access while those land. We're very interested in your feedback on these specifically, so please do mention them if they matter to your workflow.

 

What we're asking

Try the new report as part of your real daily work for the ~2 weeks the beta is live on production. We want to know:

  • Does the report surface all the information you need?

  • Are there fields or filters that are missing or unclear?

  • Does the new layout fit how your team actually works with blocks?

 

How to get access

We'll enable it for your property manually. Just reply to this post and we'll get you set up.

 

Thank you for helping us build a better tool for group business, your feedback directly shapes what we prioritise next raising hands

Hey ​@Charlene, I found Hotel Le Roberval but couldn’t find Hôtel Labelle. The only similar result is Hôtel les Suites Labelle - is this the correct one?

Hi, it might just be habit, but I would love to see a “blocked” column. I know we can do picked up + available, but we’re used to deal with the blocked number as well. As it is in the block screen anyway, it would keep it consistent.
It would be great to be able to order by number of available. This way, with selecting a shorter date range, we could easily flag where rooming list and/or individual pick up are missing.
I have a canceled block showing 25 rooms available. Is that expected? shouldn’t the canceled show 0 always?

That’s from a first glance :)

@aline.bossard Thanks for the quick feedback! Definitely makes sense with the sorting and cancelled blocks and we’ll see when we can make the change. 

With the blocked column - what do you mean it’s just a habit? Are you used to seeing this in different tools? More details would help me understand it :)

I like the Manage columns feature, although I’m not sure why the pin left/pin right/unpin features are within each column header if they only move the pinned column to the second column position unless the column attempted to be pinned left is in column 2 already… and pinning right makes the table split with some columns left justified and the pin left columns right justified.

I would like to see the Managed columns feature rolled out to all data tables in the platform and hope that when the column orders are changed, the data exported out of Mews retains the repositioned columns. This would be especially helpful for reservation reports and financial reports, to name a few.

Hi, when you look at a block, you see Picked up/Blocked, when you want to adjust you see Blocked/Available( in the hotel). So in all reports, we usually have the number of blocked rooms as reference, and we do the maths ourselves, between blocked and picked up, to know how many are left available. That is why if the table could also show the number of blocked rooms, as well as picked up, available and released, that would be a well rounded report.
It is also what we see in other systems, which would help comparing different sources and troubleshoot any sync issues between systems.
Hope that makes sense :)

@Ellie Oconnell Should I enable it for all of your properties?


@daniel.do Yes PLease!!


Please also allow users to view blocked, available, and picked-up rooms per day, not only for the whole date range the block was created for.

Hello,

Here are my initial findings from the beta program so far.

I’ve noticed a few features that no longer seem to be functioning as before. For example, is it still possible to apply a filter to view availability blocks by company? This option no longer appears to be available on my end.

Additionally, in the Excel export, there are no columns showing Picked-Up, Available, or Released data. I also noticed that the check-out date still does not match the correct date, which was an issue I had encountered previously as well.

Lastly, in the Availability & Occupancy report, when selecting a day in the calendar, there used to be a “Show Blocks” button. Now, when I click on it, it redirects me to the full availability blocks report instead of displaying the blocks for that specific day. The previous per-day view was very useful.


Thank you :)
Charlene
