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.

Selecting a Boat

Of course, the duration for which you retain personal data related elements of records and actively use customer records is something which you need to give appropriate thought to as part of your own GDPR and information governance processes.

 

When a user Opts In or Opts Out a customer, all marketing option flags will be set to relevant marketing profile values. For example, if user opts in a customer – the Opt In profile is used. This may be defined as turn on the following options: internal use, internal marketing, third party marketing, important information, newsletter, events information, and insurance. This means that all contact communication method and address marketing option flags for that customer update to match the ones in the profile.

Please note that only the primary contact marketing option flags update via the quick Opt In/Opt Out buttons and not any associated contacts.

 

If a user wants to opt in/opt out additional contacts associated with the boat, they can do that buy going to Setup Boat(F10) screen - Contact - and selecting the desired opt in/opt out option from a list that can be accessed by right clicking on the desired contact.

 

You will of course need to ensure you have correct permissions or other entitlement to market to contacts, the Information Commissioners Office website provides helpful information in that regard (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr
.

 


 

 

You will need to add two new menu items Settings and Data Manager. We recommend you add to either Favourite or Operations.

From Configuration menu select > Settings. From the left-hand panel select Contact Manager


These settings allow you to set some defaults for marketing options, when you add a new customer to the system these will be set by the system as you can see in the below on the Set-up Boats screen. If making changes you are prompted to save when clicking the close icon.

 

 

 

You can set up the default marketing options for clients who wish to “opt in” to marketing & also those who wish to “opt out”, to view the options click on the yellow icon, opt in is the first profile in the dropdown & by default has all the options ticked. If you dropdown & select opt out, you will see the default opt out settings which are currently set with nothing ticked (bear in mind if you have internal use unticked you will not be able to email the contact).

 

 

If you wish to change these options, click on the yellow pen icon as indicated in the above screenshot. To add a new profile, click the green icon & to delete a profile click the red icon. If you have made any changes, click to save.


 

 

Boats are ‘Arrived’ into the marina using the process detailed below. It is assumed the boat record is already created and is the active record in the status bar. By arriving a boat, you are starting the clock on any charges to apply, placing a booking against the berth to stop other boats from being moored onto it and allowing you to produce further reports. Boats are arrived as either a Visitor or if a contract exists for longer term berthing then as a Resident. There is a different set of screens depending on a visitor or resident.

When a boat is leaving the marina, it will need to be departed. This allows for the final bill to be raised if applicable for a Visitor and frees up the berth for availability to other users. If the boat was billed on arrival and there are no extra days to charge for then a payment transaction is not created.

 

1.      
Select the boat using the F2 – to open the Quick Search screen.

2.      
Select Boat Departure.

Generate Renewals

 

Havenstar includes a process to manage renewal of contracts in bulk in just a few steps.

1.      

Open Contracts > Create Renewals or use the Renewals icon in Contract Manager.  

 

2.      
Enter the criteria to show those contracts expiring at the end of the month.

a.      
Contract Type – Current.

b.      
Contract End Date – Date the current contracts end, set start & end date to the same.

c.       
Charging Type – Select limit by range and tick all contracts you wish to renew.

d.      
Customers – Check list and double click on ones you wish to exclude, the Sel column will change to false.

e.      
Invoice Scheduling – Same as selected contract or amend as required.

f.        
Renewal Charge Type Same As Selected – Tick if the same product is to be used.

g.      
Consecutive contract – Tick if the contract is to start the day after the current one ends.

h.      
Identical Duration – Tick if the length of contract is the same.

i.        
Apply berth from selected contract – Tick if the boat is retaining the same berth.

3.      
Click on the green tick to generate the renewal – Contracts with existing manual renewals will be skipped.

 

 

1.      
Select the boat record using F2 – to open Quick Search screen.

2.      
Select Contracts > Renewal Contract or search via Contract Manager under Future contracts.

3.      
Click the Delete Contract button.

4.      
Click Yes to delete these details. When you delete a contract, a record is not stored in the contract history.

5.      
The renewal contract has now been deleted.

 

 

 

Starting contracts is an important part of the Contract Management Process. This will 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 start when the contract start date is reached. This is only required for managing renewals. When creating a new current contract, the system automatically assumes it has started.

 

1.      
Contracts > Contract Manager.

2.      

Select Start Contracts icon.                                                                                                        

a.      
Select – Range and start and end dates of contracts to be started.

b.      
Confirmed – Ignore unless the contract is already confirmed.

c.       
Old Contract – Skip if old contract not finished. Usually need to select this if the old contract is not yet ended.

d.      
Click Start.

3.      
For renewals it looks at the approved flag and only starts those contracts.

4.      
If you are starting the contract prior to the actual start date on the contract you will receive a warning. Starting a contract early can cause issues around reporting so you need to be clear on your marina operational procedures.

5.      
If you are sure, then select Continue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.      
Select the boat you would like to delete the contract for. Note this process will automatically change their status back to a visitor.

2.      
Select Contracts > Amend Contract.

3.      
Adjust the Contract End Date to coincide with the date the contract is due to expire if the contract is terminating early.

4.      
If the contract is terminating early, has been invoiced, and the contract end date does not equal today, a message ‘Do you 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.

 

7.      
The contract has now been marked for ending. Your 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.

 

1.      
Click on End Contracts icon in Contract manager.

2.      
Select contract ending on or before date.

3.      
Highlight individual Contracts to end by ticking in the Sel column or to select all use the green double tick icon
.

4.      

Click End selected contracts (red and white icon) Havenstar will warn you if a contract has not been fully invoiced.

 

 

 


 

 

This process will depend on your organisations specific instructions such as crediting the entire annual contract and creating a new period for the actual time the vessel 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.

 

 

1.      
Once the contract is marked for ending and with the Contract Manager screen open select the Create Refund for Contract icon.

2.      
The Credit Invoice Lines screen displays. Havenstar will already calculate the refund based on the number of days left in the contract. The Items to Credit lines are already built for you.

3.      
If this is correct and in line with your company policy, then select the Create Credit 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.

4.      
Select Raise and print or email the credit note in the normal way.

5.      
If the customer was paying by instalment, then the Credit Invoice Lines screen will show each period to be credited.

The Red Diesel Set Up page has 4 different areas:

 

1.   Default Settings

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.

Creating a Charging Rate Header

 

1.      

Select Set Up > Set-up Charging Rates.

 

2.      
The Set-Up Charging Rate screen will appear.

3.      
Click the + button on the Navigator Bar in the Header section.

4.      
The screen will clear ready to add your new charging rate information.

5.      
Use the tick boxes to select Resident or Visitor mooring.

6.      
In the Group Field, type a unique identifier for this charge, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4. Ensure this identifier is not in use.

7.      
Type a Charging Rate Name into the Name Field.

8.      
Enter a Nominal Ledger code for analysis purpose.

9.      
Enter a Charge Type (for invoicing) into the Invoice As field if different to M for mooring. By default, all moorings charged are associated with Charge Type M.

10.  
Set a Minimum Value for an individual Charging Rate if appropriate. Mooring fees generated which are less than this value, automatically round up to the Minimum Value.

11.  
Set a Min.Boat Length for an individual Charging Rate. If the charging rate is dependent on the boat length, when a boat arrives less than the Min.Boat Length, the mooring fees generated will automatically be charged as the Minimum Length, not the boats actual length.

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.      
The standard number of days in the month is used to calculate the number of months in any period of stay.

If Calendar Months is checked the Mooring charge for a month is always the same regardless of the actual number of days in the month.

b.      
Set the Whole Months Check Box

Whole Months are selectable if Pro Rata is NOT checked. Residents are charged for the whole month even if the boat arrived during that month.

c.       
Set the Date Inclusive Check Box

Visitors are charged for each night that is spent in the marina; therefore, the mooring calculation does not include the final day of their stay – the final date is not included.

If Date Inclusive is checked Residents are charged for the final day of their stay as this is often the day of their departure.

d.      
Set the Cheaper Rates Check Box (only available if Pro Rata is selected)

Havenstar will search for the cheapest rate available in this Charge rate. i.e., 1 day+1 week may be cheaper than 8 days pro-rata

e.      
Set the Cumulative tick box

f.        
Click the Tick button on the Navigator Bar in the Header section to save your changes

g.      
Proceed to the Detail section

 

 

Once a Charge Rate Header is created you can now add the detail level for that header. A header may have several detail entries to indicate different periods and to cover Day/Week/Month/Year breakdown.

 

1.      
Click the + button on the Navigator Bar
in the Detail section. The screen will clear ready to add your new charging rate detail.

2.      
Type text into the Description field that identifies this charge. e.g. Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Summer Contract.

3.      
Enter a Nominal Ledger code for analysis purpose.

4.      
Enter a Period Start
Date. Specifies when the mooring charge will commence.

5.      
Enter a Period End
Date. Specifies when the mooring charge will end.

6.

8.      
Click the Tick button on the Navigator Bar
in the Detail section to save your changes.

9.      
Proceed to the Charges
section.

 

The Charge section allows you to set the actual charge rate associated with the Detail section.

Note
:  If you have several different rates in the detail section associated with the main header, you will need to add a charge to each detail description

1.   Ensure the Set Up Charging Rates screen is visible, and the correct Charging Rate and Charging Rate Detail record is displayed.

2.   Click the + button on the Navigator Bar in the Charges section.

A blank line is added in the charge table.

3.   For rates without bands, type the Mooring Rate inclusive of VAT into the Charge table.

4.   For rates with bands, you will need to enter the band limit for each factor and set the charge for each band.

e.g., If banded by Boat Length – an additional Boat Length column appears before the Charge column. Enter the boat length limit and the charge which applies to this Length

5.   Click the Tick button on the Navigator Bar in the Charges section to save your changes.

6.   Click on the Setting page to set default Resident and Visitor Charge Types.

7.   Once you have entered all information relating to this charge type click the Save button to exit the Set up Charging Rates Screen.

If within your marina operation you regularly ad additional charges to visitor (transient) berthing invoices, then you may find it easier to have those products pre-set. This means they are visible as potential charging lines on the visitor berthing invoice but have no quantity set hence no value. In the example below Electric and Waste removal are displayed as lines and the electric charge now has a quantity set and is showing the chargeable value.

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.

 

To Make a Command visible on the menu

 

1.      

Program > Menus
 to open Setup menus screen.

 

2.      
For each menu group a list of commands displays and those ticked are currently visible on the menu in the navigation bar. Commands cannot be moved to a different menu.

3.      
Tick to make commands visible on the menu.

4.      
If all commands on a menu are hidden, then the menu does not display in the navigation bar. Also note that if you remove an item from a menu, it no longer appears in Favourites. If you subsequently re-instate the command it will need to be added to the Favourites menu.

5.      
Click yellow Save icon to store the changes. 

6.      
The order in the menus can be changed directly in the navigation panel using drag and drop.

 

 

1.      
Program
 > Menus to open Setup menus screen.

2.      
Untick the command and click Save icon to store changes. 

 

 

 

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.
