The room status board

The Housekeeping page is a board with one row for each active room. It shows which rooms are dirty, clean or inspected today, who is in them, and who arrives or leaves. Housekeepers and the front desk use it to decide which room to do next.

The board always shows the open business date. There is no date picker, because only today's rooms can be worked on. See Business date.

Before you startSalin pautan tajuk

• Open it: select Housekeeping in the Front desk sidebar, under Rooms.
• Permission: you need housekeeping.view to see the board. Each change needs more. See Who can change a status.
• Rooms: the board lists active rooms only. An archived room does not show. See Rooms and room groups.

The boardSalin pautan tajuk

The title says how many rooms are on the board and for which date, for example "21 rooms on 14 Oct 2026".

ColumnsSalin pautan tajuk

The times are the expected times from the booking, not the times the guest really came or left. An empty cell shows a dash.

To change a room, see Update rooms.

The room statusSalin pautan tajuk

A room is Dirty, Clean or Inspected. Housekeeping moves a room forward in that order, and any room can go back to Dirty.

Check-out marks the room Dirty, and so does the night audit for each room that is occupied. You do not do it by hand. See Check out and What the night audit does.

BadgesSalin pautan tajuk

Every badge has a colored dot and a word, so the color is never the only sign.

A Dirty room cannot go straight to Inspected. Clean it first.

Who can change a statusSalin pautan tajuk

The badge is also the control. Select it to open a menu. The menu lists only the moves you may make, and each choice looks like the badge it will give the room.

The Housekeeping role cannot mark a room Inspected. Give housekeeping.inspect to a supervisor, or use the Manager or Front desk role. See Roles and permissions.

If you can see the board but cannot change rooms, the badge is plain with no menu, the tick boxes are gone, and the Assigned and Notes cells are read only. A room with no move left, such as a Blocked room, also shows a plain badge.

If two people change the same room at once, or a room is blocked a moment ago, Estatell refuses the second change with a short message and the row goes back to what it was. Picking the status the room already has does nothing and gives no error.

The grey lineSalin pautan tajuk

Under a Dirty room's remark, a grey line says why the room is dirty. It is worked out each time the board loads, and nobody types it.

The line goes away when the room is Clean or Inspected, so it is never out of date.

For a Blocked room, the grey line shows the notes of the block instead. The reason and the last night show under the red badge, for example "Maintenance until 17 Oct 2026". See Blocked rooms.

ViewsSalin pautan tajuk

The three buttons above the table change how the rooms are grouped.

A group row shows the name, how many rooms it holds and how many are dirty, for example "10 rooms, 6 dirty". Select the row to fold the group, and select it again to open it. The tick box on the row picks every room in the group that can be picked.

Estatell does not remember your view, your folded groups or your filters. When you reload the page, the board opens in By room group, with no filter and nothing folded.

FiltersSalin pautan tajuk

Filters work together. A room shows only if it matches all of them. If no room matches, the board says No rooms match.

The filters also decide which rooms go to the print sheet and the spreadsheet. See Print the board.

Sort orderSalin pautan tajuk

When you open the board, rooms come in the order the day goes:

1. Rooms with a departure today, by departure time.
2. Rooms with an arrival today, by arrival time.
3. All other rooms, in room order.
4. Blocked rooms last.

Inside a group, the rooms keep this order too.

To sort in another way, select a column header: Room, Status, Assigned, Guest, Arrival or Departure. Select it once for A to Z, again for Z to A, and a third time to go back to the order above. The arrow in the header shows the sort. Rooms with an empty cell go last. Status sorts by the word on the badge. Notes does not sort.
