...dditional call. Pretty sweet, right!
One of the high-level goals of the 2.0 API is to reduce chatter and provide a more-functional interface for developers. In other words, we want you to do more stuff with fewer calls. This approach of mixing in tags and fields achieves that because, as a partner, you can request booking data and see the tags and fields for that booking at the same time without m...
...iggers, scheduled emails, etc) are collapsed and show as a thin gray timeline event with a summary. We did this so that the conversation is not cluttered up with lots and lots of redundant automated stuff, and the ad hoc messages stand out. If you click on these thin gray events, the original email will load in.
You'll notice that inquiries, quotes and bookings also show, but they too are collapsed...

The owner statement was tweaked to allow temporarily-showing full amounts and some other things as well. Give it a look!
While we were in there working on PM stuff, we also added the ability to set commission to quarter percents. For instance, now you can set commission to be 20.25% instead of 20 or 20.5%, and you can do this everywhere commission is set - on...

Stats on duplicated properties. We noticed a bug where the Duplicate Properties function would not update the stats for occupancy, bedrooms, min/max pricing - basically the stuff you see on the property's General Info tab. The underlying occupancy rules, bedroom information and so on was in there, but the new property didn't show any numbers in those General Info stats. This...

Make sure broken stuff is actually acknowledged and addressed.
Let's face it - knobs and dishes break, walls get dented and scratched, towels and sheets get stained. And even worse than having to fix these things is not...
Happy Hump day, everyone! 🐫 We have 37 updates to discuss with some exciting new features to start it off. While our focus continues to hover around the PM module, we knocked out some other stuff this week that will fortify the ongoing 2021 roadmap. Here we go.

* Enhancements & Tweaks
* Bug Fixes New Features
For years, OwnerRez has tried to guess what your fees types are so th...
...le night/weekend rate for a single season and property. You'll define the season and property by name or ID and then put in the nightly and weekend night rate. Simple!
That's it for the shiny new stuff, but there's a lot more to go through as we move into enhancements and bug fixes... Enhancements & Tweaks
Let's cover the channel stuff first, and we'll start with Airbnb.
We added an option wher...
...ture of the Internet. I was told that blog posts should be persistent and reflect the time in which they were written, even if they now seem obsolete. So, as much as it pains me, I'll leave the old stuff alone.
We've also added comment capability to the update history so you can let us know what you think when stuff happens. As with the blog, the comment capability is available via the forums under...

* Your home page
* Your reviews pages (if you have one showing)
* Specific property pages
So stuff like your FAQ or Availability page won't have a star rating on them when they come up in Google search results.
Another important thing is to understand how the star rating and review count are cal...

Last week, we put out a chunky 26 update release with a new video feature and a long-awaited update to our cancellation screen. Let's run through it quickly before you fall asleep from wine and stuffing!

Stuff that's new:

I noticed this list of "Fine Print" items in the Booking.com extranet, and it's a bunch of random hotel and COVID related stuff. See below.
I wouldn't care, but there's one called "guest must show ID and credit card at check-in" that is turned on for all properties. And this is showing out live on the public guest side....
...ownerrez-some-end-of-year-presents-automatic-5star-reviews-new-forums-sms-brands-new-airbnb-fee-types#portal-access we updated portal users to be "login-only users" which set the stage for additional stuff coming in the future. Now you get to see why that update mattered.
Previously, if someone else's OwnerRez account had already granted access to a person you want to grant access to, the person had...
Great idea, Heroes. We have a bunch of stuff coming out around the guest forms and guest experience, leading to internationalization and language settings. We had not talked about the currency thing, but you're right - we could incorporate a setting to "show in different currency" which gives a good estimate of what it will be, even though the actual processing is in a different currency.
PS. For...

9) On top of this, no ability to organize templates into folders. It's a hot mess.
10) No ability to use many basic tag automations. We're forced to use zapier for such basic stuff.
11) No ability to have any meaningful levels of access for employees.
I could keep going but you can just look at the feature request list and see how long ago stuff has been requested and i...
Hi Marinas Edge,
Lots coming. We're down in the guts right now finishing some changes to how guest name/email/phone stuff is stored so that we can move to some CRM features in the near future.
We're also debuting our first pass at reporting in the release, and there are several bug fixes.
Bunch of minor stuff in how stuff is displayed on calendar/ribbon view. More on that soon too.
We're also wor...
Yep! We'll be adding a cleaning date as part of our next update to PM and the portal stuff. Fear not, the cleaning date itself on the booking will be part of the base package.
The PM/housekeeping package will get an additional workflow around the cleaning date where a cleaner can be assigned to a booking, the owner or cleaner can set the date, and then the cleaner can accept the cleaning and mark it...
