Overview
Overview is the main page that greets you when you open Kalend. It gives you a one-glance view of your daily operations and quick access to critical information.
First Look
When you open the page, a welcome area greets you with your name. Your name and today's date are shown.
Statistics Cards
The top of the page displays 4 main cards. These cards summarize your daily status:
- Total Listings — Total number of listings registered in your system
- Today's Check-ins — Number of guests checking in today
- Today's Check-outs — Number of guests checking out today
- Upcoming Tasks — Number of tasks pending in the coming days
On mobile devices the cards appear in a 2x2 layout; on desktop they appear in a single row.
Today's Operations
Below the statistics cards, two sections are shown:
Today's Check-ins
Lists guests checking in today. Each row shows the listing name and stay duration (number of nights).
If there are no check-ins today, the "No check-ins today" message is displayed.
Today's Check-outs
Lists guests checking out today. The listing name is shown. If you have a housekeeping team, cleaning tasks are assigned automatically.
If there are no check-outs today, the "No check-outs today" message is displayed.
Upcoming Tasks
The middle section of the page shows the next 5 tasks. For each task the following information is displayed:
- Listing name
- Task type (Cleaning or Manual)
- Assignee (if any)
- Date (today is shown as "Today")
Urgency Badges
For cleaning tasks, colored badges appear based on the next reservation after the task. These badges indicate how urgent the cleaning is:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Check-in Same Day (red) | Check-out and new check-in on the same day — urgent cleaning |
| Check-in 1 day later (orange) | New guest arriving tomorrow |
| Check-in 2 days later (blue) | New guest arriving in 2 days |
| Check-in 3 days later (blue) | New guest arriving in 3 days |
| Open for reservation (orange) | Reservation 4 or more days away |
The first comment preview is also shown on task cards. If there is more than one comment, the total count is indicated.
To see all tasks, click the "See all →" link in the top right. This takes you to the Tasks page.
Quick Access
At the bottom of the page, 3 cards provide shortcuts to the most frequently used actions:
- Add New Listing — Goes to the Listings page to add a new listing
- View Calendar — Opens the Calendar page
- Manage Team — Goes to the Team page
These cards are visible based on your permissions. For example, if you are not a host, the "Add New Listing" card is not shown.
Refreshing the Page
