The Signals Calendar sits above your Optimization table and gives you a rolling six-month view of your property, so you can see which nights deserve attention before scrolling through the table night by night. It groups what it shows into two tiers, Monitor and Act, so you can tell at a glance what is worth a look from what actually needs a decision.
Note: the Signals Calendar is currently available to pilot and select accounts only. If you do not see it on your Optimization screen and would like it enabled for your account, reach out via the in-app chat.
Where to find the Signals Calendar
The Signals Calendar sits directly above your existing Optimization table, on the property's Optimization screen. It does not replace the table below it. The table still gives you the detail you need to act on an individual night; the calendar gives you the longer horizon to know where to look first.
Monitor versus Act signals
The Signals Calendar organizes everything it shows into two tiers:
Monitor signals are informational. They build situational awareness, and it is up to you to decide whether a given day is worth a closer look. Monitor signals are
Pick-upandMarket Position, and they drive the colour intensity of each day's cell on the heatmap.Act signals flag a clear gap between the current state and the optimal state, where a decision is genuinely needed. Act signals are
Price Threshold,Price Freeze,Restrictions Recommendations, andPrice Recommendations(for properties on manual pricing). They render as distinct visual indicators on the day, separate from the Monitor heatmap shading, so a day can show both at once.Note:
Price Recommendationsonly appear for properties on manual pricing. On automation, the engine's price is already reflected through the current versus influenced price shading in the Pricing table itself, so a separate recommendation signal does not apply.
Act indicators also change in appearance once a signal has been marked as read, so you can tell reviewed signals apart from the ones still waiting on you. See Marking Act Signals as Read for how this works and what each state looks like.
Note: this article covers navigation and the calendar's layout. For how each Monitor signal is calculated and what its tooltip tells you, see Reading Monitor Signals: Pick-up and Market Position. For what each Act signal means and how to act on it, see Act Signals and the Signals Tab in Quick View.
Navigating the calendar
The calendar shows a rolling six-month window, with six calendar months laid out side by side.
The arrow controls jump the whole window forward or back by six months at a time.
A separate month selector lets you pick the first month of the six-month window directly, so you do not need to step through it one jump at a time.
You can go back as far as one month before today. For example, if today falls in October, September is the furthest back you can go. Earlier months, and any dates outside your property's optimization horizon, are not available.
When you open the calendar, it defaults to the current month plus the following five.
The window you have selected is remembered. If you switch properties, or navigate away from the screen and come back, you will see the same horizon you left.
Each month header also carries its own icon that jumps you straight to that month in the Pricing or Restrictions table below. The Signals Calendar always displays the same six months as the table underneath, so this is a quick way to move from "this month looks like it needs attention" to the detail you need to act on it, without having to scroll or re-select the range yourself.
Note: the pick-up timeframe selector, labelled "Show pick-up since," also lives in the calendar. The window you choose there is not limited to the calendar; it drives every pick-up related view on the page.
Signal type tabs and counts
Across the top of the calendar, Monitor and Act each have their own control, and the two work differently.
Monitorlets you pick a single signal to drive the heatmap, for examplePick-uporMarket Position. Only one can be active at a time, and switching recolours the whole calendar.Actopens as a dropdown, showing a coloured dot for each Act signal type together with aSelect Alloption. Each type in the dropdown has its own checkbox and its own count for the days in your currently displayed horizon, for examplePrice Freeze (5),Price Threshold (4),Restrictions Recommendation (86),Price Recommendation (100). Unlike Monitor, you can have several Act types checked at once, and the collapsed control shows the combined total, for exampleAct (195).
Note: counts reflect days, not the number of inventory groups affected. A day with five pending restriction recommendations still counts once toward Restrictions Recommendation.
The events overlay
An Events overlay highlights any day carrying an event price setting, shown as a border around that day. It can be displayed alongside whichever Monitor heatmap and Act indicators you currently have active.
The overlay is purely informative and does not carry its own count, but it is useful context for reading everything else on the calendar. A day already flagged as an event is one where unusual behaviour is expected, so a spike in pick-up, a shift in market position, or a price nearing its threshold on that day is less likely to be a surprise and more likely to be the event playing out as planned. Seeing the two together helps you judge faster whether a signal needs a closer look or is simply the event doing what you set it up to do.
For how events themselves are created and configured, see Managing your Price Settings.
Reading the colour legend
A legend sits alongside the calendar whenever a Monitor signal is active, showing you the intensity scale and its direction, for example Pick-up through to Cancellations, or Below through to Above for Market Position. Act signals do not use this scale; instead, each Act signal type keeps its own dedicated colour indicator, layered separately from the Monitor shading, so a day can display both its Monitor colour and one or more Act indicators at the same time.
