# Today

> The first screen of every location shows who is booked today, what needs you, and how the location is doing.

**Today** is the first screen of each location. It answers three questions in one place: who is coming in today, what is waiting for someone on the team, and whether the location is getting busier.

## The top of the page

The heading greets you, names the location and says how today looks, such as "Five appointments today, next at 11:30, Ingrid Solberg for a boot fitting. One booking waits for you to confirm." Under it is the [booking assistant](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/booking-assistant/): type a request in your own words and it finds the best times.

## The numbers

| Number | What it counts |
| --- | --- |
| Today | Appointments booked for today, with the last two weeks as a small line. |
| Next 7 days | Appointments in the coming week, against the week just gone. |
| Utilisation | How much of the bookable people's working hours was booked over the last 30 days. |
| No-shows | The share of past appointments in the last 30 days that nobody came to. Lower is better. |
| Revenue, 30 days | The price of the appointments held in the last 30 days. |

Each number shows the change against the 30 days before. Select a number to open [Reports](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/booking-reports/).

## Today's appointments

Appointments are grouped by the person taking them, in time order, and the one happening now is highlighted. Editors and admins can:

- **Check in** a customer who has arrived.
- Mark a past appointment as **Done** or as a **No-show**. Done appointments count as a visit for the customer and can trigger a review request in Presence Orbit; no-shows count towards the customer's history.

A **Some risk** or **High risk** badge means the appointment looks likely to be missed. Select it to see why, and to send an extra reminder. Read more in [No-show risk](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/no-show-risk/).

## Needs you

Bookings waiting for you to confirm, appointments that ended without being marked as done or as a no-show, and people on the waitlist.

## The charts

- **Bookings made**: how many bookings came in each day of the last 30, against the 30 before. It counts the day a booking was made, not the day of the appointment.
- **Top services**: the services booked most in the last 30 days, with their revenue.
- **Recent activity**: bookings, moves, cancellations, visits and no-shows from the last week.
- **Busy hours**: when appointments start, by day of the week and hour, over the last eight weeks, so you can plan who works when.

## Before the first booking

Until a location has a service and someone to take it, Today shows the steps to get ready instead: add services, add the people who take them, check the opening hours and share the booking page.
