| You can make a room only be available when another room is also available.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''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 booking.
| | Rooms can be linked for the following functions |
|
| |
|
| '''Requires Availability in:''' Defines the other second room which has to be available.
| | 1. Room availability dependant on another room. |
|
| |
|
| '''Combination Logic:''' And logic means both rooms must be available
| | 2. Include bookings from another room into this room. |
| Or logic means at least one of the rooms must be available.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Bookings Dependency: ''' Bookings in the selected room will be included in this room for the purpose of calculating the availability of this room.
| | 3. Assign a copy of bookings in this room to another room. |
|
| |
|
| Alternatively you can use:
| | 4. Rates from a room can be linked with or without a price offset to other rooms. |
|
| |
|
| '''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. If assigned to a different room the booking will be assigned there without further checking availability in the assigned room.
| | 5. A room can use the prices from another 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Example 1'''
| | If this setting is PROPERTY ONLY then rooms in other properties will not be visible to be linked too. |
|
| |
|
| A room can be sold either as a double or a twin. The booking page shows two rooms - double and twin:
| | If this setting allows linking to properties in other accounts, the rooms will be available for linking with the rights set in SUB ACCOUNT >> MANAGE > ACCOUNT >> MANAGE PROPERTY >> "Make Property Available in Multiple Accounts". |
| | |
| *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. One offers the villa as accommodation (the room name is villa only) only the other one offers the villa as part of a package (the room name is package).
| |
| | |
| As it is the same villa a booking for the "package" will make the "villa only" unavailable and vice versa.
| |
| | |
| To achieve this set following dependencies in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES for the room "package":
| |
| *"Requires Availability in": 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.
