The Kennel Board day to day
Updated
On this page
Sidebar: Reservations → Kennel Board.
The board shows every boarding room as a tile for one day. Each tile shows the room name, how full it is (for example 2/3), and the pets in it. It answers "which run is Bella in" at a glance.
Reading the board
- Pick the day. Use the arrows, the date button, or Today.
- Read the tile colors. The legend at the top counts each one:
- Empty — nobody booked.
- Partial — some space left.
- Full — no space left.
- Checkout Today — a pet leaves today.
- Check-in Today — a pet arrives today.
- Look for the small In and Out badges on tiles with arrivals and departures.
- Click a tile to open the stay. If the room has more than one pet, pick the pet first, then press View Reservation.
From the stay you can check in, check out, mark Ready for pickup and take payment. See Checking a pet in and out.
What the board counts
The board shows stays that are booked for that day, not only pets that are in the building:
- Requested, Confirmed and Checked In stays all take up space.
- A pet leaving today is still listed, faded, under "Checking out." It does not count toward the room's total, so the space is free for a new arrival.
- A grooming dog parked in a kennel shows a scissors icon and a Grooming tag.
The Overdue badge
A room shows Overdue when a pet is still checked in more than 12 hours after its checkout time. That almost always means someone forgot to check the pet out. Open the stay and check it out.
Until then, the pet keeps showing in that room on today's board.
Moving a pet to another room
You cannot drag pets on the board. To change rooms, open the stay, go to Details & Edit, and pick a new Assigned Room/Kennel. Alaga will not save the change if that room is full on any night of the stay, or if it holds a pet from another household.
Statuses
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| Requested | The client asked. You have not confirmed. |
| Confirmed | Booked and expected. |
| Checked In | The pet is with you now. |
| Checked Out | The stay is finished. |
| Cancelled | Called off. |
| No Show | Did not arrive. |
Requested stays already hold their space. Check the Requested tab on Reservations → All Reservations every day, so clients are not left waiting.
When the board looks wrong
- "No rooms configured." Add rooms in Business Settings → Facility Settings → Boarding Rooms.
- A pet is missing. The stay has no room assigned, or it was cancelled. Open the stay and check.
- A pet shows after it went home. It was never checked out. Look for the Overdue badge.
- A tile is full but the run is empty. A requested or confirmed stay is holding it. That is a booking, not a pet in the run.
