...now, we've been working on nuances in the core quote and booking engine, tightening up the workflow and doing loads of testing. Those items have been fully hammered down, and now we're on to the new stuff.
Our list of new features and enhancements is quite large, over 150, and our beta users have provided a few more on top of that.
As the new year emerges, we're working hard on the list. Here are s...
Last night, we released an update that changed the login, register and reset-password pages; and fixed several minor bugs.
Changes to the Login, Register, Reset Stuff
Besides tweaking the design on the login pages to match previous updates, the login pages now uses a uniform login process that combines the application and website.
To simplify, after the next release (0.7.3) users will have one login...

Always process Travel Insurance. We have a "Confirm and Finalize" page where users often go to make 'pending' bookings permanent. The confirm page runs the guest's card and does a bunch of stuff including processing Travel Insurance requests. However the user can bypass this by going to the payments area and just running the guest's card directly. When they do that, the booking's 'pending' s...

Make widget help article link clickable again. In the widgets area, there's a link to our support articles that explains how to use the Embed Code and other widget stuff. The link was hidden by something over top of it, but all better now!

Note that, with Airbnb, you can already create a custom quote in OwnerRez and send it to a prospective guest via the API.
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.

...it isn't a lot of additional work.
We recently (just in the past few days) released an update to make the rate calendar much slimmer and easier to use on mobile and tablet displays. The top header stuff is greatly reduced and the "set" button row is also collapsed. This allows an entire month of days to show easily in your smartphone window. Here's a pic:

None of the reports per-se have the listing site reservation number on them but there is a data export that has it.
Go to the Bookings tab and go to List view, then use the Export button in the top-right to export to Excel. That will include the reservation number (and a ton of other stuff about the booking).

Here's an article that walks you through this process (and also some other stuff with triggers):

You want all that in OwnerRez so you can manage bookings directly without logging ina nd out of channel constantly, and you want your down-stream stuff (reports, search, QB integration, etc) to be accurate across all bookings whether channel or not.
Channel Bridge is a work in progress and it will be for a long time. It's a fairly difficult proble...
Hi Paul,
Thanks, that sounds great. No issue with the delay. We're working on the PM and finance stuff at the moment. At some point within the next month, we'll need to set up a demo with them and get a free trail as their website (probably on purpose) contains very little real information. We thought that we'd check what you know first about the interface before going that route since OwnerRez ha...
