Put Centerline on the clubhouse wall: the TV Dashboard is here

The TV Dashboard

Point any TV browser at your club's unique link and Centerline becomes clubhouse signage. The display rotates through one screen per aircraft — the aircraft's photo, its live status (available, flying, grounded, down for maintenance), who has it now and who's next, open squawks, and maintenance intervals — then shows your upcoming events, three at a time.

What makes it wall-worthy:

  • It updates itself, live. Book a plane, close a squawk, end a flight — the wall reflects it within seconds, no refresh needed. A "Live" indicator in the header turns amber if the display ever loses its connection, so a stale screen is visible from across the room.

  • Built for 24/7. No login, no keyboard, no timeouts. Leave it running for months.

  • Guest-appropriate by design. Pilot names are abbreviated ("Jamie P.") and squawk reporters aren't shown — it hangs where visitors can read it.

  • Light or dark, your choice, per club — and flipping the setting updates the wall while you're standing in front of it.

  • Signage-player friendly. The short token is easy to type into a TV browser by hand, and the page works inside the iframe-based players some signage hardware uses.

Mint your display link from Setup → Data & Features → TV Dashboard (account owners only). You can revoke and re-mint the link any time.

One note on hardware: the display needs a reasonably modern browser (roughly 2023 or newer). If a screen comes up unstyled, check the TV's browser version first.

Aircraft Photos & Your Club Logo

You can now upload a photo for each aircraft (on the Add/Edit Aircraft form) and your club's logo (on Setup → Organization). Both star on the TV dashboard — the photo as each aircraft screen's hero image, the logo in the header.

Uploads are handled with care: nothing is force-cropped to a square, aspect ratios are preserved, and transparent logos stay transparent.

Event Images That Make Themselves

Creating an event? There's now a Generate button beside the image picker on the new/edit event dialogs. It reads the event's own title, description, and location and produces an aviation-themed image on the spot — then stages it exactly like an uploaded file, crop and all. Type a better description, generate again.

Event images now also lead each row of the events list, so a good image pays off everywhere the event appears — in the app, on the TV dashboard, and on your website (see below).

Your Events, on Your Website

A new embeddable events widget puts your club's upcoming events on any website you control — the club's homepage, an airport association page, anywhere you can paste one <script> tag. It shows the next events you've marked Promote publicly, images included, and inherits your site's typography so it looks native rather than bolted on. Host-page CSS can't break it, and nothing renders if the club has no promoted events.

Grab the snippet from the new Event Sharing card on Setup → Data & Features, which now also hosts the calendar feed — everything that publishes your schedule outward, in one place.

Billing Import & Export, Round-Trip

A cluster of improvements for clubs moving data in and out:

  • Billing is now importable — Setup → Import Data accepts a billing CSV, and every import type now offers a sample CSV template so you can see the expected columns before you start.

  • Billing is included in the full data export, and the billing list gained a raw CSV export under a single Export menu, right beside the QuickBooks format.

  • Centerline's own export is round-trip re-importable — export from one org, import into another, and it just works. Imports now also preserve roles, instructors, and squawk resolutions instead of dropping them.

  • Every billing and charges surface now formats currency with thousands separators — a $12,450 balance no longer renders as "$12450.00".

Flight Logs Lock Down When Billing Is On

An extension of last cycle's billed-log locking: when billing is enabled for your club, members can no longer edit or delete any of their own flight logs — not just the billed ones. The times drive their bill, so changes route through booking admins, and members see their logs read-only. With billing off, nothing changes: members still manage their own unbilled entries.

Also This Update

  • Reminder plumbing rebuilt — Reservation reminders now go out as each booking enters its 24-hour window (not in a 1am batch), and the scheduled jobs behind reminders, backups, billing, and cleanup were reorganized so one failure can't block the rest. Job status remains visible on the System page.

  • Members' Charges got its own screen — with a balance card and running balance; details in the member announcement.

  • Setup → Billing tidy-up — Monthly Dues now sits below Aircraft Rates, matching the order you configure them in.
