...show exact listing location there as well.
One of the things OwnerRez is known for is our commitment to updating old features with new settings, options and ideas over time. We don't just build new stuff, we watch and maintain the old stuff too. This past week, we added a set of new quote-based field codes to our field codes list which are as follows:
* QTTAX - The total amount of tax for this quo...
...when you come up with a new design.
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...
...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...
...places, so we fixed it.
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...
...article sidebar to auto-shrink except for the current category.
Now let's talk messaging!
Most OwnerRez clients have not yet seen or experienced the new SMS feature, so I apologize for mentioning stuff you may not be able to see yet! 😇 But oh well, here I go anyway...
If you have more than one SMS number on your account, it was previously picking the default number. You can now see, and select...
It's Wednesday, so let's talk updates!
This past week, we released a small part of the "long term stuff" I referenced last Wednesday. But what long term stuff, you say??! Think messaging. Think hosted sites. Think texting. Yeah okay, texting is kind of part of messaging.
In the next few weeks and months, you'll see that area grow more and more. There are some exciting things going on with Host...
...each bedroom greater than four. Any vehicles parked outside must be in the driveway, parking apron or other designated parking area.
Well, ok then! Maybe this is a reaction to all the house party stuff in the news recently?
How badly impacted is Hawaiis tourism industry these days? The Hawaii Tourism Authority released data on Tuesday that showed vacation rentals across the state were only at 14...
...at booking as well.
If you use the default OwnerRez renter agreement for your bookings, give that a quick look when you get a free minute. We changed it recently to a bigger better style with more stuff in the header and first couple of paragraphs. This is a format we've been using for awhile in our Concierge Setups, and we wanted everyone to have it.
To see what it looks like, go to Settings > L...
...they successfully gain access to your Vrbo account, they can't change your listings, rates, availability and so on. All of that is driven from OwnerRez. In fact, even you yourself cannot change that stuff from the Vrbo dashboard because of how the API mode operates. So just a reminder here to stop using iCal and switch to API!
Airbnb is gearing up to list its shares on the Nasdaq. Earlier this month...
...to a full booking) the property management settings, like owner and commission, were not being correctly applied. We fixed this - converted blocks now have the correct owner.
Templates used by old stuff. Templates have a cool little thing where each template will show you, if you click into them, what part of the system uses that trigger. For instance, it will say something like "Used by trigger W...
Last night's Google outage is still causing shockwaves through some of their services. Gmail is sending back wrong bounce messages that say stuff like "email address doesn't exist" when in fact they do!
If you're getting a lot of bounce messages from OwnerRez today, please note that we are watching this and reactivating these email addresses for you.
When the smoke clears, please look at your Commu...
This really doesn't help when none of this shows in the calendar we are viewing when we are creating quotes!!!!!
I need to see this stuff when I'm preparing quotes for guests. I also need to see availability for ALL of my properties, and to be able to prepare multiple quotes for multiple properties in response to a single inquiry.
While we're on the subject...
Could we please have the facil...
...M303155 -- but I suspect my OwnerRez integration is interfering with that.)
Given the seriousness of the COVID-19 crisis, can this be bumped up in priority? I know it's a long-term project, but TBH, stuff like this is way more important now than, say, a new rates editor.
Yes, we can manually add blocks after each booking, but that gets extremely tedious to monitor and change, especially with how quic...
Yep, Airbnb's got a bit of a hodgepodge going now, stuff they've added over time. They're working on sorting it out, but that's a longer process, particularly them making changes and then making those new methods available via API.
Last time I did an Airbnb booking as a guest, I recall getting an email with the check-in instructions and driving instructions, and then the house manual being available t...
