Sometimes, seasons occur annually and can be set to repeat. But many seasons don't fall on the same dates each year, so they can't just repeat as they are only similar year-to-year.
You can copy seasons forward from one year to the next across multiple properties while keeping the same rates and surcharges that those seasons currently have, allowing you to copy all of your holiday seasons to the next year.
To get started, navigate to Settings > Pricing > Seasons, select the seasons you want to copy by checking the checkboxes on each row of the list, and then click the Copy Forward button.
This will take you to a batch screen where you can configure some options for how you want the seasons, and their associated rates, to copy forward to the next year.
By default, each season has the same name, but OwnerRez detects if a year is in the name and updates it to the next year. For example, "Christmas 2021" becomes "Christmas 2022". It also sets dates to the previous year's dates, allowing you to adjust them before proceeding. This helps you plan around holidays or peak periods for accurate start and end dates.
At the top, specify if rates and surcharges should copy over so new seasons have a starting point. Even if increasing rates, it's best to copy existing rates first to see their previous values when editing in the Seasonal Rates editor.
The surcharges copied are only those applicable to the specific seasons you are copying. Surcharges without season criteria won't be copied.
Click the button, and you'll have a new year of seasons and rates already set up!
