Enter Projected Values — a faster way to log check-ins
The check-in form already supports this. It's a small checkbox on the second row of the Add form. When it's on, you type the balance you see on the casino site and the app calculates the change for you.
Why you want this: you're already looking at the casino screen and reading a number. Typing that number directly is faster than subtracting it from the previous balance in your head.
Normal entry vs. Projected Values entry
Same form. The only difference is which row you type into. Checkbox is on the bottom row, right below the Type dropdown.
Current: Unplayed 700.00 · Played 542.50
You look at the casino: Unplayed is 950.00. You do the math: 950 − 700 = 250. You type 250 in the Unplayed box. Try changing the Unplayed or Played fields above — the projected boxes update to match.
Current: Unplayed 700.00 · Played 542.50
You look at the casino: Unplayed is 950.00. You type 950.00 in Projected Unplayed. The Unplayed column fills itself in with 250. Same for Played.
Why it's worth switching
- No subtraction in your head. Just copy the number off the screen.
- Fewer typos. Transcribing a balance is one thing to get right; computing a change is two.
- No calculator. Especially with balances like 1,247.83 → 1,692.41.
- Works with Add & Next. You can fly through a list of casinos and never leave projected mode mid-flow.
How to turn it on
- Open a customer and a casino on the dashboard like you already do.
- In the Add form, look at the second row and tick the small checkbox labeled Enter Projected Values.
- Type the Projected Unplayed and Projected Played numbers you see on the casino site.
- Click Add (or Add & Next).
After saving, the form resets the same way it always does, ready for the next check-in. You can leave projected mode on between entries or turn it off — whichever you prefer.
