The Today board
Your home screen in Nola. See today's schedule, key numbers and everything that is waiting for a decision.
Today is the first item in the sidebar and the screen Nola opens after you sign in. It shows what is happening today, what needs your attention, and how this week compares with the last one.
What is on the board
The top of the page greets you with the date. The date and the greeting follow your business's time zone, not your device's. If your account has no name, or only the first part of your email address as its name, it greets you with your full business name. These buttons sit next to the greeting:
- Public profile opens your public provider page in a new tab. It only shows once your booking page is published.
- Booking page opens the page your customers book from, so you can check what they see. Before you publish, it opens a preview that only you and your team can see.
- New booking takes you to the Calendar, where you pick a slot.
Below the greeting are four key numbers:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Bookings today | Bookings starting today, plus the count for this week and the change against last week. Click it to open the calendar. |
| Week revenue | The price of confirmed and completed bookings this week, from your first day of the week, with last week's amount and the change against it. Bookings count whether they are paid or not. It is the same amount as Week revenue in Reports → Weekly. With more than one currency it shows an amount per currency, with no comparison. Click it for reports. |
| Awaiting confirmation | Bookings waiting for you to approve them. Click it to open the pending list. |
| Utilization today | The share of today's places that is booked: each open hour of a court, room or trainer is one place, and each class counts as many places as it holds. Hover over the info icon for the definition; when you have both, the line below shows the two parts, for example "Classes 55% full · Courts, rooms and trainers 2%". See Utilization. |
A count with a plus, such as 1000+, means there are at least that many. On a very busy day the week chart may count only part of the day; a note under the chart then says its numbers are too low.
Today's schedule
The Schedule card lists today's bookings in time order. If your locations are in different time zones, a booking counts on the date it falls on at its own location. Each row shows the start and end time, the service, the client, party size, the staff member, the price and the booking status. A payment badge appears when a booking is not paid yet. When a member's plan or pack covers the booking, the row says On plan instead of a price.
- Past bookings are dimmed.
- The booking running right now is highlighted and marked Now.
- A red line with the current time sits before the next booking.
Click a row to open that booking in the bookings list. Use Open calendar or All bookings in the card header to see more.
Check-ins today
If you sell memberships (the Memberships & passes module is on), a Check-ins today card sits above Needs attention. It counts today, from midnight on your business's clock:
- Check-ins: entries let in at the desk, a kiosk or a door, with the number of different people under it.
- Inside now: people let in during the last 4 hours who have not been seen leaving. Without exit readers, everyone let in during the last 4 hours counts.
- Turned away: attempts to get in that were refused, for example with no valid membership.
The line under the title says when the last person came in. Open check-in takes you to Check-in. The card shows for staff who may mark attendance.
Needs attention
This card collects things that are waiting for a decision. Each row shows a count and links to the right screen.
- Awaiting confirmation: bookings you still need to confirm or decline. This only fills up if you use manual approval under Services → Rules.
- New requests: quote requests without a reply. Requests you archived are not counted. See Book vs. inquire.
- Waitlist: clients waiting for a free slot. See Waitlist.
- Failed payments: memberships whose payment failed (Past due) or that were put On hold for not paying. The line under it splits the two. Click it to open Members filtered to them. It shows when the Memberships & passes module is on, for staff with Money access to the whole business.
- Birthdays today: the count is clients with a birthday today. The line under it says the same number and how many birthdays come in the seven days after today, for example 1 today · 2 in the next 7 days.
Last 7 days chart
The Last 7 days chart puts the last seven days of bookings next to the seven days before, so you can spot a quiet day early.
