Apart from the Season prices, with Clock PMS+ you can apply prices for individual days, e.g., if you wish to set a specific price for certain days within a season or if you don't use prices for the whole season at all.

'Days' Section

In this section, you can edit the prices and the rate parameters of the loaded rates for each day separately. The values set for the specific day take priority over the ones set in the rate or the season. The only exceptions are the following restrictions: 'Closed', 'Closed for arrival' and 'Closed for departure' that cannot be cannot be overridden by day level restrictions.

Here are the options:

  • You can see the availability by unit types or in total for the whole hotel, for each day of the selected period;
  • You can see the calculated end prices of the derived rates;
  • You can change the price or the restrictions (stop, min stay of length, etc.) for each date;
  • You can quickly copy the price or a given restriction from a date to the next one;
  • You can quickly copy the price or a given restriction from a given date to the end of the loaded period;
  • You can quickly copy the price or a restriction from a given date to dates and/or periods selected by you;

By default, the screen opens for a period of 14 days as of the current date. To load a specific period, select the month from the top left corner. If you wish another period, you can select it from the calendar that opens with the '...' button. The maximum period is 31 days. If you have made changes that are not saved, when you change the period you will receive a warning that if you continue you will lose the changes.

Price change

By default, the screen loads in the price edit mode. Click in the corresponding date cell to edit the price for that day. Through the “Tab” key, you can quickly move to the cell for the next date.  In addition to being able to fill in the value, you have quick buttons to:

  • Copy the current value for this date to the next date;
  • Copy the current value to all dates afterwards loaded in the table;
  • Copy the current value for this date in the periods or dates selected by you. To this end, you have a calendar to select the respective update dates  from.

Rate prices are displayed in the dark grey cells, and manual adjustments - in the blue ones. You will distinguish the prices of the derived rates through the "=" sign next to the price itself.

The corrected days, whose changes have not yet been saved, are marked in yellow. In the Edit mode for the price, you can also see the min length of stay (in the upper left corner), if any set for the date. If the day is stopped, the cell has a red stroke and/or a “STOP” inscription.

Learn more about the application of prices by days in How to set up daily prices.

Edit restrictions

To switch to the edit mode and correct a restriction, use the blue button in the upper right corner. Select the parameter to be edited. The edit is similar to the one of the price, as you can once again use the copy functions. 

If there are restrictions set for a date that are not displayed in the specific mode of operation, the cell displays "...". You can use the "Show All" option, activated from the same location, to display all restrictions set by day.

To save the changes, select the save icon button in the upper right corner. Next to it, you can find an 'Undo/Refresh' button to revert the state of all changes to the one from the last save. If after the last save, there are no changes, the button only refreshes the screen.

Additional options

While changing prices and restrictions, you can add new rates (from the Rate section) or load existing ones (through the search button) without losing the unsaved changes by days. In addition, from the green eye button in the upper right corner, you have the following options:

  • You can choose if info of the availability of each room type or the hotel occupancy is loaded. Occupancy data is highlighted depending on the occupancy percentage - from pale to dark green.
  • To hide/show the resulting price for each date, please note that the prices are not updated when editing the related base rates. The resulting price is updated upon saving the changes
  • Use large table font for better data legibility;

The options selected by you are saved and also applied with the next opening of the screen.
