Want to allow wide-open inquiries for even no-date requests?
Check out the widget settings now. There are a lot of new options.
That's it for now
Lots of other stuff going on, but I wanted everyone to know about these specific feature updates so that you can go make them work for you right away.

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...

The issue is the large number of features we are working on at any point in time. It's not that we don't care about this stuff or drag our feet. It's that we are working on a wide roadmap, ranging across 8 "verticals" like PM, Channel Management, Websites, Accounting, and so on. We have invested heavily in engineering - it...
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...

News on which piece in particular? 2022 did bring some big accounting things.
We are currently pushing hard on large PM work (which includes how expenses are handled and also includes some reporting changes), other accounting things, and lots of other stuff.
...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).

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...

Usually, though, it's way easier to just do one template that has the overall stuff that's the same per property, and then use the Insert Field button to insert fields for the parts that change like property name, address, etc. Don't create a custom field for the entire body (althou...
Awesome!
Yep, on the logged in site on your booking area it only searches the bookings and stuff in your account.
