Overview​

BoatyBall UI v1.10.0 delivers significant improvements across Boater, Owner, and Admin workflows with a strong focus on reservation handling consistency, administrative usability, reporting accuracy, and backend alignment. This release enhances multi-location management for managers, improves payment and reporting reliability, and resolves several critical UI and backend synchronization issues affecting reservation lifecycle, user management, and analytics integrity.

New Features​

Boater Experience Improvements​

Anonymous User Privacy Enhancement​

Anonymous users will no longer see sensitive reservation data such as:

  • Boat names
  • Reservation-specific identifiers

This improves privacy and ensures consistent behavior across public-facing views.

All applications now automatically apply clickable prefixes for:

  • Phone numbers (tel:)
  • Email addresses (mailto:)

This improves usability across mobile and desktop environments by enabling direct communication actions.

Admin Panel Enhancements​

Advanced User Search Capabilities​

Admin user search functionality has been extended to include:

  • Search by boat name

This improves discoverability of users in large datasets and supports faster administrative lookup workflows.

Payment Filtering Enhancements​

Admin payment views now include predefined date range filters:

  • Yesterday
  • Today
  • This Week
  • This Month
  • Custom range selection

This improves financial reporting efficiency and reduces manual filtering overhead.

Enhanced Owner and Manager Visibility​

Admin users now benefit from extended visibility into:

  • Owner locations
  • Manager assignments per owner
  • Location-manager relationships

This improves operational clarity and reduces ambiguity in ownership structures.

Self-Closing Notification System​

Admin actions now trigger automatic self-closing notifications for:

  • User activation/deactivation
  • Reservation-related permission changes
  • Advanced reservation toggles

This ensures immediate feedback without requiring manual dismissal.

Manager Data Expansion in Admin UI​

Manager listings now include:

  • Assigned locations
  • Expanded manager metadata

This allows administrators to understand management scope directly from list views.

Owner Panel Enhancements​

Multi-Location Manager Support​

Owners can now:

  • Assign multiple locations to a single bay manager
  • Manage location assignments dynamically
  • Remove assigned locations individually or in bulk

This significantly improves flexibility for organizations managing multiple marinas or regions.

Manager Invitation Enhancements​

Owner-side manager invitations now support:

  • Assigning multiple locations during invitation creation

This reduces onboarding steps and improves operational efficiency.

Manager Location Detail Visibility​

Owner APIs and UI now include:

  • Location details for each manager
  • Improved clarity of assigned operational areas

Bug Fixes​

Boater​

Issue #39 – Reservation Cancellation Logic Refinement​

Problem

Cancel button behavior was inconsistent for:

  • Non-reservable mooring balls
  • Partially eligible reservation states

Resolution

Cancel actions now correctly reflect reservation eligibility, preventing invalid operations and improving UI consistency.

Issue #42 – Unclear Booking Restriction Message​

Problem

The message "This mooring cannot be booked" lacked clarity.

Resolution

Improved messaging provides clearer feedback on booking restrictions and availability conditions.

Issue #137 – Cancel Already Cancelled Reservation​

Problem

Users could attempt to cancel an already cancelled reservation, producing misleading backend responses.

Resolution

System now properly handles redundant cancellation attempts with appropriate validation and messaging.

Owner​

Issue #136 – Manager Invitation Cancellation Failure​

Problem

Cancelled manager invitations remained in "INVITED" state in the backend.

Resolution

Invitation lifecycle state is now correctly updated upon cancellation.

Issue #48 – Reports White Screen​

Problem

Reports screen would occasionally render as a blank page under specific conditions.

Resolution

Additional validation and rendering safeguards prevent UI crashes and ensure stable report loading.

Admin​

Issue #49 – Payment Screen Not Updating After Refund​

Problem

Refund actions did not trigger UI refresh in payment detail views.

Resolution

Payment screens now refresh correctly after refund processing, ensuring accurate real-time financial data.

Issue #142 – Manager Invitation Resend Failure​

Problem

Resending manager invitations resulted in HTTP 404 errors due to missing backend support.

Resolution

Backend support for invitation resending has been implemented, restoring full functionality.

Issue #148 – Report Calculation Exceptions​

Problem

Report generation encountered exceptions when handling cancelled reservations.

Resolution

Report logic now safely handles cancelled reservation states without exceptions.

Issue #149 – Incorrect Report Summary with Cancelled Reservations​

Problem

Including cancelled reservations in reports produced incorrect summary calculations.

Resolution

Report aggregation logic has been corrected to properly account for cancelled reservations in summaries.

Backend Enhancements​

Owner API Enhancements​

Extended Manager Information​

Endpoints now include:
