I have guests fill out all that info on my legal agreement. Add custom fields then go to legal agreement and insert them. Preview it to make sure it's right. Easy enough. Just set up the custom fields right. Make them "required" and a "booking" type for it to show on legal agreement.

Yes, no indication that they plan to add it in the future either.

With the current legal agreement format, is there a way to allow guests to enter additional information, such as additional guests names and phone numbers, vehicle information etc. and submit it back electronically, or is the only information returned the electronic signature?

Any updates on this?  We have a couple different Resorts where this could be useful, and also several condos in the same complex.  Pool closure, announcements about activities, icy conditions, thunderstorm or tornado warnings, etc.

Agree, I am constantly searching for a bank deposit amount to tie back to a transaction, but the deposit amount does not seem to be searchable... even though "payments" shows as searchable, results don't populate.

Could you allow or implement a toggle to search for dollar amounts in transactions from the search field? This may just be a "me" problem but it would help so much with some of my reconciliation bookkeeping. Or I could use a suggestion on how to better be able to find charges from Lynnbrooke/Cardpointe corresponding to chargebacks and things of that nature. Thanks.

I just did this using IFTTT. It was super easy; I have an Ecobee thermostadt. 

I set up a template and a trigger in OR that sends an email to IFTTT, based on certain conditions (summer season and no one stayed in the place the night before). 

This email triggers IFTTT to turn the Ecobee thermostadt to a certain temperature and Hold until the next scheduled transition. 

This way, I can set the AC to kick on a few hours prior to a guest's arrival, so they don't arrive to a hot place.

I had never heard of IFTTT before. Can you explain more about how you send an email to IFTTT? I would love to do this at multiple properties with the thermostat!

 

Also, I would like to put in my vote for OR to work with ecobee and nest!

I would appreciate the ability to filter out pass through occupancy taxes on the Bookings Report. Currently the Bookings Report includes all of the pass through taxes that we have to collect and submit. I love the line chart for a quick visual of my revenue, but it is not accurate because it includes any pass through occupancy taxes I collect. I would love to be able to filter out the pass through taxes so the Bookings Report will show my true revenue.

Ability to "pick and choose" amenities to appear in website widget 0 replies

Hi there! First and foremost, I love the platform as a whole and find the website integrations to be strong.

When I incorporated the widgets, plugins and shortcodes into our site, my goal was to leverage them as much as possible so that as we make changes in OwnerRez, they dynamically pull into our site vs having to make changes in two places.

In many cases, everything works well, but there are a few improvements that could be made to the widgets, but the one that stuck out the most was the Amenities widget. As we all know, platforms like Airbnb have an overwhelming number of "amenities" they ask about that are relevant as people are searching with filters on the site, but that are not necessarily important for someone that has come to your site directly. In addition, sites like Airbnb group amenities into categories that they feel are relevant on their end, but may not be the right way to display them on an independent website.

When using the widget, I then had a massive list of poorly organized stuff that was not able to be well-stylized for the site. The only way I found to group things as I wanted in a moderately well-stylized manner was to hardcode my amenities into my site manually. See example here for how we handled. A potentially "simple" work around would be to enable users to select via checkbox which amenities they wanted to display in the widget and which to leave off. This way, in theory, we'd be able to pop in multiple amenities widgets on a single page grouped however we want them to be and enable for more customization aesthetically.

Would love to hear if something like this is in the works or if there are other possible workarounds.

Many thanks!

Well, while it is technically possible, at present it is not planned, and it only has 2 votes.  I know I've seen folks ask for something like this many times, so if this gets voted up more, we can revisit.

Hi Tarki,

We completely agree, the filter option is super powerful!

We have no plans to stop supporting the old ribbon view, it should remain available at least until the old filter option is added to the new view.

I see this is over 3 years ago now.  Is it still on the development list or did it slip in somewhere and I missed it?

Yes, we agree... it's on the development list. We have a number of improvements we want to do to the Triggers, and that's one of them.

The Daily Checklist Report is valuable, however, it has to be manually ran daily, 365 times a year.

Instead, there should be a function to automatically have the Daily Checklist Report e-mailed to specific recipients at a specified time and day (ie: Send to all team members in operations daily at 8AM).

At this time the only means to leave private feedback is within the review itself, either from the CRM dropdown, or the reviews tab of a booking. Within the automated 5 star review process, there is no additional field or setting for private feedback.

The filter option/function is a really powerful tool and therefore I still use the old version of the ribbon view. Please continue to support the old ribbon view until you add the filter option/function to the new ribbon view!

At present, no, but that is planned to be re-added to the new ribbon view.
