Quick reporting tool

    Hi,

    I need to create a quick ”reporting tool” where registered users (mostly bed & breakfast) can specify vacancy status for certain date intervals.
    For instance 5-8 mars there should be a select list for each date with the choices ”Vacancy”, ”No Vacancy”, ”Closed” and nothing more than this.
    I would populate the tool with strategic date intervals (high season and big event dates).
    Public there should be a list with the registered Bed and breakfasts with columns for each date (one page for every dateinterval/big event), sorted by latest updated status.
    I hope it makes sense ?? could you please comment on whether you see any way forward creating this with Pods (before I dive in)?

    Thanks!

    Yes, Pods provides a simple interface for adding both date fields, binary fields, lists, checkboxes, and taxonomies.
    However, if one has to ask how to interpret such data, one would likely be better off with any off the dozens or hundreds of plugins specifically written for booking and hotel/hostel management, as AirBnB was founded 17 years ago, and the structure has been quite well-known and popular over the last couple decades.

    Thank you for your quick reply!

    Yes, but this is not a booking tool, nothing like those plugins. It will provide a quick overview of current status (with links to each company.) Do you think there is a way to create create fields that saves vacancy status like this to specific dates?

    Thanks!

    If it is tracking vacancy, it is booking.
    Yes, you can create a post type representing the spaces, fields representing the start and end dates and assigned user or entity via relationship, taxonomy, or text, and permalinks are a built in data structure of all WP data types.
