<div class="heading">Booking Rules</div>
This page is about the menu {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)  > PROPERTIES > BOOKING RULES

<div class="summarybox">
You can set rules for all bookings and specificly for direct online bookings from your booking page.


*'''Near Term Bookings''' - You can select how many days in advance to consider a near term booking and the style of booking completion for near term bookings. You may use a different strategy than your normal bookings. If a booking includes near term and exceptional dates the booking type will be as set for exceptional dates.  
Use the context help <span style="color:#007bff;“ >{{#far:question-circle}}  </span> for information on each setting.  


*'''Exceptional Period Booking''' - The exceptional period is a period you can define to use a special booking style or blackout period. It includes all dates between the first and last night. This may be used to easily blackout a date range. Another example would be to only accept On Request bookings during the exceptional period while still accepting Automatic bookings at other times.
