This page is about linking rooms

Rooms can be linked for the following functions

1. Room availability dependant on another room.

2. Include bookings from another room into this room.

3. Assign a copy of bookings in this room to another room.

4. Rates from a room can be linked with or without a price offset to other rooms.

5. A room can use the prices from another room instead of it's own.


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.

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".
