...of past payment and refund transactions that are unrecorded in your OwnerRez account. Where do you draw the line? Where do you begin recording deposits, and if you're not recording all the historical stuff, how do you get rid of it all so that it doesn't show up on the deposits screen?
OwnerRez has created some solutions to help everyone get started as you review your Manually Record Deposits (https...
...ownerrez-some-end-of-year-presents-automatic-5star-reviews-new-forums-sms-brands-new-airbnb-fee-types#portal-access we updated portal users to be "login-only users" which set the stage for additional stuff coming in the future. Now you get to see why that update mattered.

...sly accepted, the My Properties counter doesn't update. Also, the counts show the previous status to the requester, and the counts only go up, they never subtract. We hunkered down and cleaned this stuff up.

Have you been annoyed by any door lock stuff recently? Well, we have! We've been building a list of stuff to tweak, and this past week we knocked out a bunch of it.
First, we noticed a situation where you couldn't set a manual code on a blo...
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...

So what does the future look like at OwnerRez? More of the same, but also more of other stuff!

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...

For most of you, this new 3DS2 stuff will never be used because you're not a European merchant. However, this work lays the foundation for other security enhancements that might affect you in the future.

Tim, you hit every major thing right on the head! Your list of stuff is already on our internal UX tasking re: unified inbox, along with a bunch more, so it's like you have inside access to our project boards! 😱

...o 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 exam...

All logical and stuff from a computers point of view, but it doesn't make much sense in the real world.
I've got a fix going in with our new prorate engine to make the min holiday nights be same or greater than minimum n...
I am just pointing out that the amenities are often illogical, unclear, not standardized, favoring rare stuff (raclette, lobster pot) and leaving out common stuff (porch, fire pit) , etc.
Allow customization also (horseshoe pit/quaits)

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...
