Havenstar is
like a hotel reservation system instead dealing with boats and berths rather
than people and beds. It can simplify running a marina by tracking the arrival
of visiting boats, payments made or due and charging correct rates on
departure.
There are 4
interfaces in addition to an App for Dockside Manager and the web-portal.
·
Dashboard and Navigation Bar
·
Active Matrix – a snapshot of boat information
presented in a table and Navigation Bar
·
Graphic – a map of the marina showing berths and
boats and Navigation Bar
·
Havenstar screens – Once a boat is selected you
use the screens to perform functions with the software.
If part of a
group, each marina is set-up within the database and a user will login to the
one they work at. Users can have access to more than one marina, which is ideal
for centralised functions.
The Havenstar main screen will show you the organisations selected
dashboard and navigation bar. The dashboard comprises of widgets that can be
set to reflect the data you wish to see within your organisation. You can set
the number visible and position.
If you prefer you can opt to work with the Active Matrix or Graphic
view if configured. In version 3.3 the 3 buttons at the top of the Navigation
Bar allow you to move between the views quickly.
Havenstar is
boat record driven in other words, you can have several boat records linked to
one person. In this situation, one boat (usually the first one created) is the
Master record and all the other boats associated with the same person referred
to as “Child”. This means when invoicing a child boat all charges are
re-directed to the one Master account. Revenue for each marina is recognised by
nominal ledger codes assigned to products which are unique to each marina. So,
a customer can have boats in different marinas with the income recognised at
each one, but all the financial transactions are held under one account. This
makes financial control easier.
Boats are arrived at the
marina as either a Resident (Annual) or a Visitor. A Resident has a berthing
contract and pays either annually or by instalments according to a contract
whereas a Visitor has their stay time accrued daily. The status or ‘R’ or ‘V’
represents the statuses throughout the system and boats can be changed from a
Visitor to a Resident and back without having to create a new boat record.
If Boats are in the marina
they will be denoted with the letter ‘I’. Similarly, if they are out of the
marina they will be marked with the letter ‘O’.
i.e., A status of RO would
indicate a “Resident” currently “Out” of the marina therefore the berth would
be available for other bookings up to when the Resident is due to return.
The menu sets in Havenstar customisable. Within the new Navigation
Bar every command is initially available on the menu. They may be set so only
certain users can access the commands and if this is the case you cannot amend
the menus without the password.
In version 3.3 if
all commands are hidden on a menu, then the menu no longer displays.
Keyboard shortcuts
are supported in Havenstar, and the template can be found in Appendix 1.
Throughout the
manual we have documented the quickest method using keyboard shortcuts and
shortcut icons. The icons are consistent across the program to make it easier
to remember.

look at all Renewals due to start by the date selected and start them based on
the parameters selected. You will need to use this feature for renewal
contracts created in advance of their start date as they do not automatically

managing renewals. When creating a new current contract, the system
automatically assumes it has started.
1.

Manager.
2.
Select
Start Contracts icon.

want to set the contract end date to today?’ will appear.
5.
Select Yes,
to update the contact end date and charge to date to ‘today’s’ date.
6.
Select No
to leave the contract end date and charge to date at its current date.
Note: If
the contract is paying by instalments, and the contract terminates early at the
end of November, - change the contract end date to 30/11. If the Nov instalment
invoice exists and you then delete the contract, the contract history written
will show the contract ended in Nov. The charge to date will also show up to
end of November.

resident has been ‘turned’ back into a Visitor.
8.
Depart the boat from the marina when they leave
and then remember to go and End the contract.
Once
renewals have been created it is important to End any contracts that are due to
expire. This is a manual process and is not automatic when a contract end date
is reached. Only do this after the new contracts have been started. This
removes any contract rates and privileges from the customer and returns them to
Visitor status. Ensure that invoicing has been completed before ending the
contract. Customers with outstanding periods in the Marina will appear on
the uninvoiced boats report.

was in the marina or creating a partial credit for the unused portion of the
annual marina fee. Some organisations may not give credits on annual berthing
fees at all.

screen open select the Create Refund for
Contract icon.

Note icon. If it is not correct then remove
the lines using the icon. Amend the date so the correct number of days displays
and then re add the line using add invoice lines icon.

2. Service Codes
3. Usage Declarations
4. Refund Declarations
These settings are user
configurable.
·
Default propulsion: 60% recommended
·
Minimum Propulsion: Expressed as a percentage
·
Propulsion rate of duty: Set by the
government
·
Default Domestic: 40% recommended
·
Max Domestic: Expressed as a percentage
·
Domestic rate of duty: this is normally included
in the purchase price of fuel by the vendor
·
VAT Codes for Propulsion, Domestic, Commercial
and Live-aboard are currently 5% each, where the total sale is for less than
2300 litres.
·
Fuel Duty Service Code: This needs to be set up
with VAT rate of 5% and a zero value in Setup Service Codes.
Service Code:
This field is populated by all fuel related Service Codes e.g., DE1, DE2 etc.
All Service
Codes: Lists all service codes available to select from to populate the above
field. Highlight & double click DE1; it will now appear in the Service Code
box.
For standard
fuel sales below 2300 Litres the default settings apply.
For fuel sales
over 2300 Litres a second Service Code for Fuel Duty with a 20% VAT rate and
zero value will need to be set up in Setup Service Codes along with a second
service code for the fuel itself.
Apply this by
selecting the second service code in the middle box at the top so that the
arrow appears next to it & setting the VAT Codes to the right and the
second Fuel Duty Code. These settings will override the defaults when set.
Usage Declaration
This prints upon sale of fuel via
EPOS or Havenstar.
For example: I declare that 100% of
the fuel purchased is used for Live-aboard purposes.
For split usage declaration it will
declare the percentage of the overall sale which is used for propulsion.
I
declare that X% of the fuel purchased will be used for propelling a private
pleasure craft.
The onus is on the customer to make
the correct declaration for their boat.
1.
The declaration can be made at the time of
purchase on EPOS or can be pre-set in Set-Up Boats, Red Diesel Declaration tab.
2.
Select usage type and set the declaration date. Under HMRC rules a customer can
make an annual declaration valid for one year from date set.
3.
If you select Leisure Use, you will need to
enter the percentages for propulsion and domestic (heating). 60/40 is
considered a default split but some vessels such as live-aboard narrow boats
may have 20/80 as they use more domestic.
4.
Once all data is complete select OK to save and select Yes at the prompt. Close the window.
Refund Declaration
This prints upon Refund for fuel
For example: I declare that 100% of
the fuel refunded was originally declared for use for commercial purposes only.
Please note that when there is a
60/40 split for example, or ‘any’ ratio, the invoice shows three lines:
A line showing the 60% used for
propulsion.
A line showing the remaining 40%
for domestic.
And a third line showing the fuel
duty applied only to the 60% of the fuel purchased for propulsion.
This report shows how many litres
of fuel that the fuel duty applies to & gives a total for the fuel duty
applied.

12.
Set the Pro Rata Check Box.
Example:
A mooring stay of 10 days is based on
1 x weekly rate + 3 x daily rate
If Pro Rata is checked, the charge is
calculated on 1 x weekly rate + weekly rate divided by 7 multiplied by 3.
A mooring stay of 6 weeks is based on
1 x monthly rate + 2 x weekly rate
If Pro Rata is checked, the charge is
calculated on 1.5 x monthly rate
a.

of their departure.

Within Havenstar the menus are usually
created prior to go-live in conjunction with the client. It is possible to give
different roles access to specific menu commands required to perform their
role.
However, it is possible for each user to
have their own set of commands which may be more advantageous in smaller marina
operations.
The instructions here cover how to add
commands to menus providing you have the relevant access permissions. Within
your organisation only certain people may be able to amend the menus which are
password protected. If you are working with an assigned menu for your role,
changes you make will apply to other users of that role which is why this
feature is most likely locked and only available to System Administrators. If
you are unable to add commands as you do not have permissions, please contact
your System Administrator within your business.
These instructions assume relevant
permissions and no profile assigned.

If all
commands on a menu are hidden, then the menu does not display in the navigation

Favourites. If you subsequently re-instate the command it will need to be added
to the Favourites menu.

The new Dashboard feature enables
clients to opt to display pre-set information sets on the screen. These sets
are known as “widgets” and are created by us for you to use. At present we have
created a set of the most useful items to display but are happy to expand the
selection based on customer requests.
The screen can be configured into
columns and rows but if you have too many, they will be difficult to view. We
recommend a 3 by 3 format at the largest to utilise.
To select a different Dashboard from
the default, select Program > Dashboards, and select the one
you require.
1.
Select Configuration > Configure
Dashboard.
2.
Use the green plus icon to create a new
dashboard. Alternatively select a dashboard and click on the green clone icon
to copy it. This is useful if you just want to change one widget but not the
whole dashboard.
3.
For a new dashboard, enter the name and select
the columns and rows to display. Each widget is 1 column by 1 row, but they can
be made larger.
4.
Click the Make Public box and the yellow Save icon. Configure permissions may
be used in your organisation depending on setup or users.
5.
Once you have saved the new dashboard, select Configure
Widgets
6.
Use “Drag to place” to the position a widget and
from the drop-down of pre-set widgets select the one you need. Repeat as
required. To remove a widget, drag to the widget to the “Drag here to delete”.
7.
Once complete click the close icon top right to exit the window. Repeat to
close the Configure Dashboard window and then wait for the screen to refresh
with the new dashboard.
The Graphic UX is an optional module, so this section does
not apply to all customers.
Use Program > Show Graphics to display the
graphic representation of your marina.
To zoom in, click where you want to increase the view and
use the mouse wheel forwards to decrease, roll the wheel backwards.
Putting the mouse pointer on a boat, show details of the
vessel and if placed on a grey boat icon this means the berth is empty so just
shows berth dimensions.
