Run rentals

Today and calendar

Home is your daily list: what goes out, what comes back and what's late. The Calendar shows how many copies of each product are free over the next four weeks.

Home

At the top, three numbers: Going out today, Due back today and Deposits held. Below them:

  • Overdue: rentals whose return day has passed.
  • Going out today: rentals that start today.
  • Due back today: rentals that end today.

Home also shows:

  • a banner when paid orders need new dates (see Conflicts);
  • your rentals this month, once you reach 80% of your plan (see Plans and limits);
  • the setup checklist, until every step is done or you dismiss it.

The same list is emailed to you once a day if you turn on the daily summary. See Emails.

Calendar

The calendar shows four weeks starting on a Monday, one row per product, or per size when you split stock by an option. Each row is labeled with the product, the stock and its copies, for example Silk gown · S (2). Use ‹, Today and › to move between weeks.

For items with more than one copy, each day shows how many are still free. Hover a day for the breakdown: free, rented, in buffer, in a checkout and blocked.
