''This page is about linking roomsthe Menu SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS -> DEPENDENCIES''You can make a room only be available when another room is also available.
Rooms can be linked '''Room Availability:''' This setting is useful if for example this is a suite that is composed of this and an adjoining room or you are offering a more exclusive occupancy (at higher price?) when another room is unoccupied. A booking for this room will block the other room for the duration of the following functionsbooking.
1. Room availability dependant on another '''Requires Availability in:''' Defines the other second roomwhich has to be available.
2. Include bookings from another room into this room'''Combination Logic:''' And logic means both rooms must be availableOr logic means at least one of the rooms must be available.
3. Assign a copy of bookings '''Bookings Dependency: ''' Bookings in the selected room will be included in this room to another for the purpose of calculating the availability of this room.
4. Rates from a room Alternatively you can be linked with or without a price offset to other rooms.use:
5'''Assign Bookings to:''' By default web bookings for a room will be assigned to the selected room. It can be manually assigned to a different room. A If assigned to a different room can use the prices from another booking will be assigned there without further checking availability in the assigned room instead of it's own.
'''Assign a Copy Booking to:''' A copy of the booking can be placed in another room. This can be used to control availability in dependant and linked rooms.
The setting SUB ACCOUNT >> MANAGE > ACCOUNT >> MANAGE PROPERTY >> "Room Linking" limits the scope of allowed inter property and inter account room linking.
If this setting is PROPERTY ONLY then rooms in other properties will not be visible to be linked too.'''Example 1'''
If this setting allows linking A room can be sold either as a double or a twin. The booking page shows two rooms - double and twin: *Create two rooms in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES-> ROOMS Got to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: *For the double set following "Requires Availability in": twin*For the twin set "Requires Availability in": double Leave all other settings set to default. '''Example 2'''A villa is set up in two different properties in . One offers the villa as accommodation (the room name is villa only) only the other accounts, one offers the villa as part of a package (the room name is package). As it is the same villa a booking for the rooms "package" will be available for linking with make the rights "villa only" unavailable and vice versa. To achieve this set following dependencies in SUB ACCOUNT SETTINGS->PROPERTIES-> MANAGE > ACCOUNT >> MANAGE PROPERTY >ROOMS-> DEPENDENCIES for the room "package":*"Make Property Available Requires Availability in Multiple Accounts": villa only*"Assign Bookings to" = this room*"Assign a Copy Booking to" = villa only Leave all other settings set to default. '''Note''': If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules.
