The home screen of Metarina, giving you a live summary of today's requests, bookings, movements, and berth occupancy.
Dashboard is the first screen you see when you log in. It shows you the things that need your attention today: pending and waitlisted booking requests, recently created bookings, today's arrivals and departures, a count of free and occupied berths, and a live weather map for your marina location. If your marina has Analytics enabled, a separate Analytics tab provides an embedded reporting view.
| Screen / Area | What you use it for | Typical daily tasks |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard (Overview tab) | You use this screen to see today's pending requests, recent bookings, the arrivals and departures calendar, current berth occupancy counts, the weather map, and the Need help? section. | Check what requests are waiting for action, confirm who is arriving today, and see how many berths are free. |
| Pending and Waitlisted Requests panel | You use this panel to see all pending and waitlisted booking requests that still need a response. Each row shows the customer, boat, the date the request was submitted, how many days until the booking starts, and the current status. | Review new requests each morning and click through to respond. |
| Recent Bookings panel | You use this panel to see the 10 most recently created confirmed and reserved bookings. Each row shows the customer name, boat name, booking dates, and status badge. | Quickly find a booking that was just created without going to the full Bookings list. |
| Departures & Arrivals calendar | You use this widget, titled "Departures & Arrivals" on screen, to see which boats are scheduled to arrive or depart on the selected date. Each entry shows the boat name, berth, expected time, and an Arrival or Departure badge. You can navigate by date and filter by Arrivals, Departures, or All. | Check the arrival list at the start of a shift and confirm expected times with dock staff. |
| Free Berths / Occupied Berths | You use this panel to see a count of how many berths are currently free and how many are occupied today. This panel is only visible on very wide screens (1024px or wider). | Confirm at a glance whether the marina has capacity before quoting a walk-in boater. |
| Weather | You use this widget to view the live Windy weather map centred on your marina's location. It appears on the right side of the screen at full screen width. | Check wind and conditions before advising an arriving boater or planning dock operations. |
| Need help? | You use this section to contact Metarina support via Live Chat or email directly from the Dashboard. | Open a Live Chat if you encounter an urgent issue or have a question for the support team. |
| Analytics tab | You use this tab to view an embedded analytics dashboard with detailed reporting on your marina's performance. This tab is only visible if Analytics has been enabled for your marina and you have the view analytics permission. | Review occupancy trends or booking volumes for a reporting period. |
