Yep, we've got sticky filters, saved filters, etc in the planning stages.

Right now the best thing to do is to middle click on a row to open in a new tab which will leave the grid filtered.

Hello - me again.

I am new to OR but have been using QB Pro Desktop 2016 for many years.
I really like the class option that let's me show separate columns for each property and for misc income.
Now the kicker.
OR only uses Quickbooks Online. This means you need to pay $60 a month to get that feature that I used to get included with the desktop.

I want to make a request to integrate both Online and Dektop and I am willing to be the beta-tester Guinea Pig to get it done.

It would be nice to know how many characters we are at while entering a text description. After all the calculation is being done anyway.
"The field Summary must be a string or array type with a maximum length of '80'."

That was perfect. Glad you have that option.
I thought it would have been under the Financial Settings area or the forms settings itself.

I want to use recurring dates as much as possible but I also need to use specific dates.
The behavior appears to look at the recurring first (which don't have years) and then the specific dates which do have years. So the order is odd.
I think that if you can dynamically add the proper upcoming year to the recurring and then sort that might fix it.

The Widget beautifully displays the holidays. Could the pop up for the date fields Start Date and End Date also do the same thing? Perhaps not possible but would be cool if it did.

In any of the date fields it would be very nice if the End Date defaulted to the same as the Start Date if the start date is changed. For example if I enter a start date of 07/01/2019 it would be great not to have my end date appear as today and then need to click it a lot or even (shudder) manually enter the desired date.
Just a little thing but it would effect data entry that goes over and over and over the same thing.

The rates widget is ordered by date.

Can you describe a bit more about what you're looking for on special rates in your scenario and how that would match with a date ordering?

By default checks and custom instructions are both set to a 15 day in future minimum to ensure everything goes through before arrival.

You can change that amount for custom instructions payment methods on the Rules section of the property.

I created a custom payment method for a Wire Transfer.
The system somehow forces it to wait 15 days just like it was a paper check.
This led to an error on the Inquiry Widget I was testing.
I discovered that by creating one. I got around it by enabling Paypal.

The Filter is a nice feature when looking at the rates but it should stick with the settings until one manually gets rid of the filters.
I have to constantly reapply the filters.

The Rates Widget tends to have a weird order of display when inserted into my website.
If I define a season for a special rate and want it up top it doesn't display there.

Yep, that calendar picker is a little finicky. What's actually happening is that the first click is the start date and then second is the end date -- even though the calendar is below the end date box, the first click is still setting the start date because you can pick dates in either box.

If you want to change just the end date, first click in the end date text box which will set you to end date picking mode, then click on the calendar to pick it.

We don't currently have anything like that, but it's an interesting idea. We do want to do things like scheduled report sending via email etc.

If it's not related to bookings or anything in OwnerRez, there are a lot of general case email schedulers -- here's a couple ideas:

Aloha, I'm interested in getting updates about the upcoming guest review link/form. It will be great for our direct booked guests to be able to leave a review on our website using a link that takes them there. Thanks for all you do!

Can you add a way to create a trigger that isn't related to a booking? Such as a trigger to send an email on the 15th day of every month or even different time periods like every other month or three months. This would be very useful to help manage different items that are related to the vacation rental, but not the actual booking. Such as schedule extermination, schedule hot tub checkup, pay taxes, schedule yearly whatever...just a thought.

Got it. That worked. Thanks. But I ran across another problem I have encountered before in specifying a date range. In this case, for the report, if I click in the end date box and select a new date on the calendar popup, it puts it into the start date box. I have to manually re-enter the start date and then the end date to get the right range. I also ran into this when attempting to extend a booking for one night previously.

We don't show them in the booking list currently, but if you go to the Reports section and pull a Date Range Stay Report, you can see them there.

It would be nice to be able to see my custom fields in my booking list. I manually create a lock code and a slot that my lock manager software uses to store it. I would like to be able to see in my booking list if I have set the code and for which slot for all my bookings at a glance, rather than going into each booking individually having to select the custom fields. Thanks!

Yep, you can use OwnerRez directly on your Android or iOS device!

Thanks for the reminder -- we didn't actually have an article on how to do this, so I just wrote one: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/mobile-phone-tablet

We just pushed out an update that shows the listing site on the popover.

The rolling calendar view is a great idea and something we want to do, but that's a bigger rearchitecture -- the calendar right now is built to a single month, so making it roll and redoing a layout to show multiple months is a larger effort.

Go to reports, download daily range. remove unnecessary columns, send to housekeeper. That is what I do.

I think this is a great idea.

If you are going to make changes to the ribbon calendar in the Booking area, I would suggest the view be a rolling 31 days as of Today Date.

This would solve the problem when looking at future availability you don't have to toggle between the months to see dates which cross-over from one month to the next.

This would allow you to add an even to a email triggered. This would allow you to send events via email so that it shows up on a shared google calendar. This would be a great feature to have and further automate cleaning, maintenance, etc...

Thank you,

It would be great if the view we give house keeper showed list view and included our notes and also number of guests. This would allow me to indicate to cleaner if their was an early check in, playpen needed, or anything extra I needed.

This would be very helpful. You can see it for airbnb due to the email showing up but you can't see it for all of them. It would also be great to be able to organize the properties as you see fit. As we like to have our properties that are similar together in case we need to move bookings around.
