Managing Dashboard Tiles

Tiles are blocks of information that you can add to your Home Dashboard pages. There are several types of tile, each providing unique real-time information. Some segments of tiles highlight when you hover over them, indicating that the highlighted segment of the tile is a link that provides more detailed data. You can drag and drop tiles on the Home Dashboard to rearrange them to fit your needs.

If you manage more than one property, each tile must be configured for a specific property. You can have multiple tiles of the same type for multiple properties. For example, if you manage maintenance for three properties, you can add three Room Maintenance tiles to your Home Dashboard — one Room Maintenance tile for each property you manage. The property name is specified on each tile in small text below the title of the tile.

The following table provides a list of tiles available.

  1. To add new tiles:
    You can add multiple instances of the same tile to the Home Dashboard at the property-level. This enables you to compare the same tile while applying a different Room Class filter to each tile. For example, you could add two instances of the Room Maintenance tile but apply a different Room Class filter to each one. The Room Class function under Inventory Management must be active for the Room Class filter to be available in the tile's settings.
    1. From the OPERA Cloud Home Dashboard, select the page for the new tile, and click Add New Tiles. You can add a new page by clicking the Add Page link.
    2. Locate the tile in the Add New Tiles dialog, enter the number of tiles to add in the Quantity column, and then click Add to Dashboard.
    3. If needed, after the tile appears on the screen, click Setup on the tile and complete the fields and selections to suit your purposes. Setup tasks and options vary by tile.
