Sticky Notes & Reminders

The shared noticeboard: shift notes that belong to the property, not to one person.

Sticky Notes is a shared noticeboard for the property. It is the digital version of the notes taped to the back of the front desk: the promotion that is running, the room that is out of action, the watch somebody left in the lobby.

Two things make it different from a note in a reservation:

  • It belongs to the property, not to a person or a booking. Everyone sees the same board, and it does not disappear when a guest checks out.
  • Everyone can see it, whatever their role. Sticky Notes is the one thing in SupremeStay that every role reaches — reception, housekeeping, restaurant and transport alike. That makes it the natural place for anything the whole property needs to know.

Opening the page

  1. Click Sticky Notes in the left sidebar.

If it is not there, the module is switched off — see General settings.

What is on the page

PencilEnters edit mode, where notes can be moved, resized and deleted.
Full screenFills the screen — for a board left up on a back-office monitor. Press Esc to come out.

Notes taller than their tile scroll inside themselves, so a long note does not force the tile to grow.

Adding a note

The Add Sticky Note dialog with Title, Color, a rich text editor and a file drop zone
Title and colour are required, and so is the body.
FieldRequiredWhat it does
TitleYesThe heading on the note.
ColorYesOne of four: yellow, green, blue, pink.
BodyYesThe note itself, in a small rich text editor.
DocumentsNoDrag a file in, or click to browse.

The editor

The body is a proper editor, not a plain box. The toolbar offers headings, bold, italic, links, bulleted and numbered lists, and block quotes — enough to make a note scannable, which matters when it is being read at a glance across a desk.

Attaching a document

Drag a file onto the drop zone or click it to browse.

Anything else is refused with a message saying which rule it broke.

Editing, moving and deleting

The pencil puts the board into edit mode. The layout grid appears, every note grows a pencil and a red bin, and the buttons at the top right change to +, ✕ and save.

The board in edit mode, with the layout grid visible and each note carrying an edit and delete icon
Edit mode: the grid appears, and nothing is saved until you press Save.

In edit mode you can:

  • Drag a note to move it.
  • Drag its corner to resize it. A note is at least two columns wide.
  • Pencil on a note to change its title, colour, body or document.
  • Red bin to remove it.
The Edit Sticky Note dialog with a filled-in title, colour and formatted body
Editing opens the same dialog, filled in. The body keeps its formatting.

Using the board well

A noticeboard everybody can write on becomes wallpaper if nobody prunes it. A few habits keep it readable:

  • Give the colours meanings and stick to them. There are only four, which is a feature — pick a scheme such as pink for anything urgent, blue for promotions, green for information, yellow for tasks, and the board becomes readable before anybody reads a word.
  • Put the reservation number in. It costs four characters and saves a lookup.
  • Write the note so a stranger can act on it. The person reading it may be on a different shift in a different department.
  • Take notes down. The promotion that ended in August is noise in September.
  • Keep it short. A note that scrolls is a note nobody finishes.
