The Dashboard Features are our highlight tracking tool, allowing property managers to have a better understanding of the overall digital footprint of their property. The scores on the Dashboard in the DRIVE frontend refer to:
Facts: Our factsheet has a capacity of around 600 facts. The average number of facts per hotel is around 100, so we suggest introducing more facts for a better score in this category.
Tour operators: Get an instant and clear overview of what information the TOs are commercializing of your properties. Distinguish between the TOs to whom GIATA is distributing automatically (the "Push" symbol appearing next to TO names) and the TOs that decide what content they wish to update. See where the content becomes updated thanks to GIATA's distribution, or thanks to your own efforts in reaching out to them with the Open Content Link.

This tab permits easily identifying which TO catalogs have fewer (and potentially outdated) images by displaying the number of images per catalog on the column right after the hotel name.
Check the always up-to-date list of TOs (and other channels) to whom GIATA is distributing and find their websites and therefore, contact information here.
This feature also enables you to reach out to additional tour operators and provide them with up-to-date, multilingual, and easily exportable content about your property (by sharing the Open Content Link with them), which would increase your overall TO score. New TOs adding your property to their portfolios will also start appearing on this tab automatically.
Sales Channels: number of suppliers which have mapped a property in their portfolio, compared to how many mappings the top hotel in your area has. GIATA has an ongoing collaboration with these suppliers, but this doesn't mean that they are necessarily updating the changes made onto GIATA DRIVE as soon as they take place. GIATA encourages the hoteliers to reach out to a supplier directly if they find any outdated information on this tab, forwarding them the Open Content Link, and requesting the update.
The image score: can be increased by uploading and confirming more images. The 100% score is reached with 50 images, as some channels only distribute the first 50 images uploaded. Booking.com is one of these channels.
