Mobile Navigation

Mobile Navigation puts your most important Atlas tools right at your fingertips. The bottom navigation bar appears on every Atlas page when you're using a phone or tablet, giving you instant access to your Dashboard, Markets, Listings, Calendar, Reports, and admin settings without having to scroll or hunt through menus.

3. Listings tab — Manage all your properties, view performance, and update listing details
4. Calendar tab — Check availability, manage bookings, and review your occupancy schedule

How It Works

Automatic Display

The mobile navigation appears automatically when you access Atlas from any smartphone or tablet. You don't need to enable it or adjust any settings — it's designed to work seamlessly across all your mobile devices.

Active Tab Indication

The navigation shows which section you're currently viewing with visual cues:

• Highlighted tab — The active section appears in a darker color
• Underline indicator — A subtle line appears below the current tab
• Icon emphasis — The active tab's icon uses your primary brand color

Smooth Transitions

When you tap a navigation tab, Atlas smoothly transitions to that section while preserving your place in the app. If you were filtering data or had made selections, those preferences stay intact when you return.

Common Questions

Q: Why don't I see the mobile navigation on my desktop computer? Mobile navigation is designed specifically for phones and tablets. When you use Atlas on a desktop or laptop, you'll see the full sidebar navigation instead, which provides more space and detail for larger screens.

Q: Can I customize which tabs appear in the mobile navigation? The navigation shows the core Atlas features that property managers use most frequently. The tabs are optimized based on user research and workflow patterns, so customization isn't currently available. However, all users see the same essential tools for managing their vacation rental business.

Q: What happens if I don't have access to certain features like Superadmin? The navigation automatically adjusts based on your account permissions. If certain advanced features aren't available for your subscription level or user role, those tabs either won't appear or will guide you to upgrade options when tapped. This ensures you only see tools you can actually use.
