Find a Room
Search
-
On desktop, use the Search bar at the top of the list.
-
On mobile, use the search field below the header.
-
Type a room number, room type, or guest name.
✓ The list updates as you type.
Sort
-
Click any column header (e.g., Room, Type, Room Status).
-
Click it again to reverse the order.
✓ The arrow beside the column shows the sort direction.
Mobile Filters
-
Tap a filter chip like Clean, Dirty, Inspected, Occupied, Vacant, or DND Active.
-
Tap the same chip again to remove it.
-
Tap Clear all to reset filters.
✓ Only matching rooms stay visible.
Active Filters Bar
When filters or search are active, a bar appears above the list.
✓ It shows “Showing X rooms out of Y.”
The list order resets after a refresh. Reapply your sort or filters if you navigate away.
Update Room Status
Change a Room Condition
-
Find the room in the list.
-
Open the Condition dropdown.
-
Select Clean, Dirty, or Inspected.
✓ The condition updates and you see a success message.
If you do not see Inspected
Your PMS may not support this status. You can still use Clean and Dirty.
If Settings → Check-In has Prompt housekeeping to confirm same-day checkout enabled, AVA shows a prompt when you mark a room Clean or Inspected on its checkout date.
While updates sync, a banner says “Updating housekeeping status...”
After condition or DND changes, AVA refreshes related room and reservation data in the background. This helps Operations View show the latest room status.
Toggle Do Not Disturb
-
In the Do Not Disturb column, toggle the switch.
-
Confirm the action.
✓ The Do Not Disturb status updates and a success message appears.
Plan Your Cleaning Order
Start with Vacant rooms marked Dirty—these are the fastest to turn.
| Priority | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Vacant + Dirty | Fastest rooms to turn for new arrivals |
| Vacant + Clean | Ready for early arrivals—verify DND is off |
| Occupied | Coordinate before entry |
| DND Active | Do not enter until DND is cleared |
Recommended workflow:
- Sort by Room Status to group Vacant rooms first.
- Then sort by Condition to see Dirty rooms at the top.
- Update each room to Clean or Inspected after finishing.
