To avoid double bookings it is advisable to enter the bookings you already have.

You can use this function when the channel manager is set up but not activated. The button is available in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER->AIRBNB/BOOKING.COM/EXPEDIA.
- Other bookings can be uploaded as a .csv file from in (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES.
- To manually add or blocked dates click on the suitcase icon in the CALENDAR or on "Add Booking" at the top.
- If you do not need the actual booking you can adjust the availability in the CALENDAR in the row "Inventory". The number shows rooms remaining to sell. They can be edited to quickly change your availability. Double-click to open a pop-up and save the changes. (it is only possible to lower the number based on the value in (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP "Quantity of this type" and any existing bookings).
