[[Category:Virtual Rooms Room Linking and Dependencies]]<div class="heading">Offer a property as a whole and also rent parts individually</div>

<div class="warning">{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel which allows guests to book more than one room/unit in one booking you are risking overbookings. </div> ==Example 1 - Rent the house or 3 apartments == A holiday house consists of three separately bookable apartments (Apartment1, Apartment2 and Apartment3) and can be rented in full. To set this up you will need four rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS:

*Apartment1

There are two methods Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set this up: House *Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3 Leave all other settings at the defaults.  Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 3 *Include Bookings from: House Leave all other settings at the defaults. ==Example 2 - Rent the house or two separate apartments or 3 apartments==

DisadvantageGo to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: Just changing the inventory does not automatically adjust the inventory in all connected units. This will need to be adjusted manually.

*Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment2A and Apartment2B Leave all other settings at the defaults.  Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 2A, Apartment 2B  *Requires Availability in: House*Include Bookings from: House Leave all other settings at the defaults. ==Example 3 - Rent the full house, a flat and 3 B&B rooms == A lodging rents 3 rooms. These three rooms are rented individually as B&B room or all together as a flat. The flat is also offered as house (the house and the flat are really the same). To set this up you will need 5 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS. *House *Flat*Room 1*Room 2*Room 3 Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: *Rooms: set ""Include Bookings from" = Flat and House*Flat - ''Requires Availability in'': Apartment1 and Apartment2 Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and Apartment3"Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available*House - ''Assign Bookings toRequires Availability in'': This Room1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available ==Example 4 - Rent the full house, 2 apartments or 3 individuals rooms== A holiday house consist of 2 apartments (apartment A and apartment B) which are rented together and individually. Apartment B consists of 3 rooms which are also rented separately. To set this up you will need 6 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS. *House *Apartment A*Apartment B*Room 1*Room 2*Room 3 Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: *Rooms: set ""Include Bookings from" = House*Apartment A: Do not set any dependencies

*Apartment B: ''Dependency LevelRequires Availability in'': Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default) Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available

*House: ''Combination LogicRequires Availability in'': Apartment A, Apartment B and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available - for all rooms (this is the default) for all rooms

Apartment 1==Example 5 - Property can be rented in full, Apartment 2, Apartment 3 *''Requires Availability in'': House*''Assign Bookings to'': This Roomindividual rooms and also Dorm beds ==

*''Dependency Level'': Ignore Sub Dependencies A Property has 2 Individual rooms and 2 Dorms each with 4 Beds, they want to sell the initial 2 rooms and the dorm beds, and also the Entire property. (this is They do not want to sell the defaultDorms as Private Rooms) - for all rooms

This will require 7 rooms*''Combination Logic'': Sum of all bookingsEntire House*Private room A*Private Room B*Dorm Room 1*Dorm Room 2*Virtual Room 1 *Virtual Room 2

'''Method Entire House *Quantity of this type = 1*Booking type = 1 per Booking*Maximum number of Guests = 12 (Total from all ‘real’ rooms)Private Room A and B *Quantity of this type = 1 *Booking type = 1 per Booking*Maximum number of Guests = 2'''Dorm Room 1 and 2 *Quantity of this type = 4*Booking type = 1 per guest*Maximum number of Guests = 4for DORMS ([[Hostel and Retreat Setup|please see the set up instructions for hostels]]).

Disadvantage: Manually entered bookings do not change the inventory Virtual Room 1 and Virtual Room 2*Quantity of this type = 1 *Booking type = 1 per Booking*Guests = 4 (number of dependent rooms automatically.

Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set Entire House *Requires Availability in Private Room A, Private Room B, Virtual Room 1 & Virtual Room 2 *Combination Logic = All Rooms must be available*Dependency Level = Include Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Private Room A & Private Room B :*Include Bookings from = Entire HouseLeave all other settings as default Dorm Room 1 *Requires Availability in Virtual Room 1*Combination Logic = 1 Unit must be available*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Dorm Room 2:*Requires Availability in Virtual Room 2*Combination Logic = 1 Unit must be available the larger *Dependency Level = Ignore Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Virtual Room 1:*Requires Availability in = Dorm Room 1*Combination Logic: 4 unit needs the smaller must be available*Include Bookings from = Entire House Virtual Room 2:*Requires Availability in = Dorm Room 2*Combination Logic: 4 unit to must be available*Include Bookings from = Entire HouseLeave all other settings set to the defaults. To achieve this Note: If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set following up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel you are risking overbookings. ==Example 6 - Property can be rented in full only during a certain period ==  A holiday house consists of three separately bookable apartments (Apartment1, Apartment2 and Apartment3) and can be rented in full, however during Special holiday periods, you decide to sell only the entire house. (See Example 1 above for details on setup and dependencies in SETTINGS )  For the 3 apartments and Entire House Go to Settings > Properties > Offers > Offer 4*Create Offer 4 -Christmas Special *Set Minimum days* Show = Only when available  Create a Rate/Daily price for this period* Set Offer = 4  <span style="color:#fe746c;“ > ROOMS {{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Selling rooms at different constellations works fine for the booking page and for channels which allow guests to book only one room/unit at a time.
