The Property Calendar provides a quick overview of the events and day types that were defined for a certain period of time. It is accessed by clicking Bookings, selecting Reservations Workspace, and then selecting Property Calendar. Using the calendar, you can see at a glance a broad view of the daily status of the property. For example, you can view total arrivals and departures, availability, occupancy, events, and daily type.
Use the Property Calendar to manage events or special periods that can affect rates. Here you can enter certain events which might affect your booking situation. Events can be city-wide festivals, concerts in town, property happenings, and so on. You might use this option, for example, when you are in the Control Panel and see a plus [+] beside the indicated event of the day. This means that there is more than one event on that particular day, but there is no room in the Control Panel to show you the additional events.
The Property Calendar can also be used to organize the order that your property’s rate codes display within a rate query. Day types can be used to increase/decrease existing rates by a certain predefined factor. Day types can also be used to control the sequence of the rates in the rate grid on a daily basis. The date range option allows you to view from one day to a range of days.
The Property Calendar can be helpful in assisting guests when making reservation stay changes, or informing guests making reservations of the local events happening during their stay.
You can view the Property Calendar in several ways. You can select various view icons to change the view:
Day: Show only one day at a time
Week: Show only one week at a time
Month: Show one month at a time (this is the default view)
List: Show the calendar events as separate lines in a list
