Reservation Module
Purpose
The Reservation module lets an authorized user view, filter, and manage charging station reservations. The module provides visibility into upcoming and past booking slots, allocation details, power limits, and connector assignments.
From this module, an authorized user can:
- Review the list of reservations for a selected date range, locations, chargers, and connectors using the Table View or Calendar View.
- Search, filter, and sort reservation records.
- Open the New Reservation creation form to book sessions for customers.
- Control grid visibility using the column filter menu.
- Review reservation identifiers, customer names, locations, scheduled start and end times, duration, EVSE identifiers, connector types, connector sequences, allocated power, and live statuses.
The records, views, and actions available depend on the selected business and the user's role-to-permission mapping. Reservation details and statuses update dynamically as bookings are processed or modified.
Accessing the module
- Sign in to the HIEV portal.
- Confirm the required business in the business selector.
- Open Reservations from the main navigation menu.
- Use the global filter bar or switch between available views using the view toggles at the top-right of the grid section.
Module structure
The Reservation module contains the following main areas:
| View / Area | Contents |
|---|---|
| Reservations (Table View) | List grid showing all reservation records, record count, search control, column filter, view toggles, refresh, and quick action options. |
| Reservations (Calendar View) | Time-grid calendar visualization showing scheduled bookings across time slots and days. |
| New Reservation Form | Creation panel allowing administrators to book a charging session by specifying customer, location, station, connector type, and time window. |
Reservations page
The Reservations page provides two primary display formats: Table View and Calendar View, managed via view toggle icons next to the refresh control.
Filter bar controls
At the top of the Reservations page, a comprehensive filter bar allows users to narrow down displayed records:
- Date Range Picker: Selects the active time window (e.g.,
Jul 27 - Jul 28). - All Locations: Multi-select or dropdown filter to limit records to specific locations.
- All Chargers: Filters the records by specific charging stations.
- All Connectors: Filters the view by specific connector standards.
- Apply: Executes the selected filters to update the records grid.
- Reset: Clears all active filter criteria back to default.
Table View grid
The Table View displays a summary grid of bookings. The section header indicates the total number of records returned (e.g., Reservations 3).
The grid includes a Search input field to instantly locate entries, a Refresh button to fetch the latest values, and a Column Filter icon that opens a Show / Hide Columns menu. Within the column menu, users can toggle individual columns on or off, select Deselect All, or click Apply to save column visibility preferences.
