Introduction
Cloudbeds RMS is the revenue management experience for reviewing pricing opportunities, working with pricing by stay date, and reviewing performance information. Its main navigation is organized around Today, Calendar, and Analytics so you can move from a quick review to deeper pricing work or performance reporting as needed.
This article applies to the Cloudbeds RMS experience. If your property still uses the previous Revenue Intelligence interface, review Cloudbeds RMS: New experience and rollout overview for information about the phased transition.

The Today page opens first in Cloudbeds RMS. Use the top navigation to move between the available areas.
Choose a Cloudbeds RMS area
Each main Cloudbeds RMS area supports a different part of the pricing and performance workflow. Use the area that matches what you need to do next.
| Area | Use it when you want to |
|---|---|
| Today | Start your RMS review and see current pricing opportunities or information that may need your attention. |
| Calendar | Review pricing by stay date, inspect supporting pricing context, and take pricing actions. |
| Analytics | Review available RMS performance reporting, including Hotel and Marketing reports. |
Use Today
Today is the default starting page in Cloudbeds RMS. Use it to begin your pricing review and identify current pricing opportunities or information that may need your attention.
When you need to investigate a specific stay date in more detail or take a pricing action, continue to Calendar.
Use Calendar
Calendar is the main workspace for reviewing pricing by stay date and taking pricing actions. Use it when you need to evaluate a particular date, review supporting pricing context, or make a pricing change.
Select a stay date to review additional pricing context. Depending on the information available for that date, Calendar can bring together rates, competitor information, property performance, pickup information, and pricing recommendations to support your decision.
More advanced Calendar workflows, including working across multiple dates and adjusting pricing settings, are documented separately so you can learn the core pricing workflow first.
Use Analytics
Analytics is the performance reporting area in Cloudbeds RMS. Use it when you want to review RMS performance information rather than make a pricing change for a specific stay date.
Analytics includes Hotel and Marketing reports. For broader Cloudbeds reporting and analytics options outside Cloudbeds RMS, review Reporting Overview and Navigation.
Next Operational Step
Now that you know where each main Cloudbeds RMS area fits, start on Today for your initial review, move to Calendar when you need to investigate or change pricing, or use Analytics when you need performance reporting.
