You are able to view a single or multi property at this page, to choose your view use the property selector at the top of the page
Generally for hotels and multi unit accommodation businesses you will want to view one property at a time. For vacation rental you will be able to benefit for single or group views.
For properties that have a PMS connected.
The PMS will update to availability, rates and restrictions, changing anything here manually may mean that it is later overwritten by a PMS update.
There are some advanced settings which is likely the PMS does not update:
Max Availability
Availability Offset
We use the standard hierarchy of:
Room Types
Room Rates
Channel Rates
This is the type of room you are selling
Example: Double Room, Family Room
Room Types are from the Hotel industry to manage multiple rooms of the same type (Multi Unit)
If you are a vacation rental or sell rooms individually then just call the room type after your property or room.
A room rate is a combo of the Room Type and Rate Plan
Example: Double / Best Available Rate
The Room Rate will hold all details of Pricing, Availability and Restrictions for that Room Type.
A channel rate is when a room rate is mapped to a channel, you will be able to see here what is sent to that channel.
Channel Rate is what is sent to the channel, in channel mapping you can use a modifier to change rates sent to channels.
Example: +10%
In this example the channel rate should show 10% higher than the parent rate.
Navigation - You can navigate in 2 ways:
Use the date picker and select a date
Use the arrows to go to next date range.
We have lots of shortcodes on the calendar:
Common:
RATE - This is the Rate/Price
MSA - Minimum Stay Arrival
AVL - Availability (How many rooms/units left)
SS - Stop Sell Restriction
MXS - Maximum Stay Restriction
CTA - Closed to Arrival
CTD - Closed to Departure
Special Ones:
AVO - Availability Offset
MAL - Maximum Availability
AVL - Availability of room rate
To change anything on the grid you just need to click on it or click and drag for a date range
After you click on the grid you will see a popup like this:
Now you can check the dates are correct and enter the new value.
Once you have updated the grid you can save or reset changes.
This is the method you need for bulk changes, you can do multiple date ranges and days of the week
Affected Dates: You can update with 1 date range or add multiple
Restrictions: Here you can choose what you want to update, you can update multiple things at the same time.
Affected Rooms: You can search the table for any text, the table will show only what matches the search.
