When selecting Amenities in the Properties form, the default sort order is now set to “Common” Amenities. * Added the option to “List All Photos for This Property” to the “Photo Options” link (in the Properties form > Photos, and also Site and Location Photos).

  • 11/26/21 v.1.0.3488 * In the Properties form > Property Info tab, there is a new “Alternate Lat, Long” option, which can be used if you do not want to show the Exact Map Location for a property.  This is similar to what VRBO offers, but better, because you can either auto-generate the nearby Lat,long, or you can specify it yourself.  Vrbo only auto-generates it, which could put your map pin in an undesirable location. Fixed an issue in the Cleaning Schedule when a scheduled cleaning does not have an assigned cleaner. The Tenant selection drop-down in the Bookings form now requires the Tenant Lookup button to find existing tenants, rather than scrolling through a long list of tenants. * In the Google map Property popup window, there is new “Zoom In” and “Zoom Out” link, which makes it easy to zoom in and out of the map while keeping the property location centered at the same time. * Recent bug fixed when saving manually created bookings. * If you have specified a Google API key and it is invalid, a message is now displayed.

Map markers change color now when hovering over a property in the list. * When clicking on properties in the Group web page, if the property is set to open in a new browser tab, then the “Other Properties” links are removed in the property page.

For example, if you have a “Ski Season” rate, and there is an early snowfall, you could easily change the Dates for Ski Season across all selected properties. * Added a new option to the Comparative Performance Report to “Exclude properties not Active in both periods”. This provides a more accurate comparison when using the “Merge Properties” option.
  • 7/28/2021 v.1.0.3455 * You can now create New Bookings, by Double-clicking on open days in the Bookings form Timeline, and selecting “Create a New Booking on This Day”.

(Previously the timeline always shifted to center the imported Booking’s dates). * You can now create Send-Email type Custom Alerts. This opens up the ability to schedule Emails based on “any” criteria you might have. For example, you could schedule emails to send to guests based on the number of nights booked, the property’s location, if the property has a digital lock, how many guests, or any other criteria. See help on “Sending Scheduled Emails” for more info.

This allows future updates from the channel to reference the manually created booking. * Added a checkbox option to the Bookings form > Work Flow tab, to “Auto-Save Bookings after Sending Emails”. Added a new Property Info Placeholder for: “PropType.Name%. Added a new filter option in the Bookings form > “Common Filter Shortcuts” button (see the Book icon above the grid), to “Show Today in Property View”.
