The Tables page is the board your front desk works from. It shows every table in the branch as a card, colour-coded by status, and it updates itself as staff start sessions, record frames, and take payments on other devices.

The table dashboard for Gulberg Branch

​
Reading the board

Across the top, four counters show how the branch is doing right now: Available, Occupied, Reserved, and Maintenance. Below them is the card grid. The status on a card is worked out live, not just read from the table record: a table with an active session always reads Occupied, and an otherwise-available table with a booking today reads Reserved. The counters and the status filter use the same rule, so they always agree with the cards. Each card carries the table number, its optional name, a type badge (Snooker or Pool), the status badge, and — on tables paired with a camera — a small camera chip. The chip reads Camera offline when automatic frame-end detection is not working for that table.

​
Filtering the grid

The header has a status filter (All Statuses), a type filter (All Types), and a refresh button. If you are a SuperAdmin, an extra All Branches filter appears so you can narrow the board to one branch. Every filter clears back to “all” with the small x.
Filters change what the grid shows, but the four counters always describe the whole branch you are looking at.

​
What clicking a table does

An idle card has three buttons.

Start Session

Opens the start dialog for that table. Enabled only while the table is Available. See Starting a session.

Reserve

Opens Reserve Table to hold the table for a customer. See Managing tables.

Change Status

Opens Change Table Status — pick a new status and choose Update. Use it to put a table into Maintenance and back.
When a booking exists, the card shows a Reserved · name · time row with an x to cancel it. Cancelling asks you to confirm first. Once a session starts, the buttons are replaced by the live session panel — score, timer, running total, frame buttons and End Session. That panel is covered in Running a session.

​
Real-time behaviour

The board is connected to the server over a live channel, so you do not need to refresh it:
  • A card pulses briefly whenever its table changes on another device.
  • Session timers, frame scores, and running totals move on every screen showing the branch.
  • Camera chips flip between online and offline as the camera service reports in.
If the connection drops, the board keeps working from what the device already knows and shows an offline indicator. Writes you make are queued and sent when the connection returns — see Offline and sync.
Leave the table dashboard open on a screen behind the counter. It is the fastest way to see what is free, what has been running a long time, and which tables have a booking coming up.
