We are excited to introduce The New Cloudbeds Menu: The first of many user-focused design improvements that simplify common, repetitive workflows to improve efficiency for your front desk operations.
This is just the beginning, we're not stopping here! We have more goodness ahead that makes using Cloudbeds seamless and simple. Let us know how we're doing, leave your feedback here.
Top Menu
The Cloudbeds Menu that runs across all pages within Cloudbeds PMS is receiving a visual upgrade that makes our platform more modern and intuitive. Not only is it better aesthetically but it will also help users do their jobs more efficiently.
Before
After
Along with the new design, four major functions are now accessible wherever you are in the Cloudbeds Platform:
- Add Reservation
- Go to Calendar
- Go to Reservations
- Product Updates
Property Logo (New)
We have added property's logo and name to the top menu. Clicking the logo from anywhere in the system will take you directly to the Dashboard.
Where is the logo taken from?
The logo displayed is taken from the Booking Engine Customizations page. If you haven't added a logo there, we will use the main property picture (on the Property Profile), and if you also left it empty, the system will display the Cloudbeds logo.
Global Search
With this update, you will have access to a powerful search bar with more information and take shortcuts to leave a note and go to the folio inside the reservation.
