General Help and Questions » Any plans to add exclusions of arrivals/departures/blocked off dates to reports?

Nope, there's not a way to do that currently. I think we need two more options on that report: - Include blocked-off time (defaulted to no) - Include events: Arrival, Departure, Staying Then you c…

General Help and Questions » Email triggers inside of date-window don't send?

General Help and Questions » Email triggers inside of date-window don't send?

Right now, triggers don't fire if the due date is past -- this is to keep old ones from firing inadvertently. We've thought of making a trigger option to send even if past, but need to get that right…

General Help and Questions » Standard Pricing and Seasonal Pricing

The easiest way to do this is to create a recurring dates season from 1/1 to 12/31 and call it "Standard". Then whatever rates you set up for that season will be used when no other seasons apply.

General Help and Questions » HTML writer

What sort of software are you looking for? Most should work in terms of pasting HTML into OR, just as long as there isn't any extra stuff like <script> tags. Are you running into an issue?

General Help and Questions » HomeAway Calendar Sync weirdness

I reviewed the logs and their feeds showed 7/25-7/30 at one point which synced in (you should have received an email at that point), but checking their feed now they show correctly as 7/24-7/29. We'…

General Help and Questions » Email trigger specific to the season

Could you make a Winter season with the same rates as the Standard? That'd be the way to do it right now. The other way would be to have arrival date range criteria on the trigger as well, which is …

General Help and Questions » 3rd party alerts/imported bookings
