Seasons
Seasons are extremely useful in case you have long periods of time with generally the same price.
Creating a Season
To create a new Season in a rate:
- load the rates which you want to edit by using Rate Search.
- navigate to the Seasons tab
- Use the '+' button to add a start date for a season if you don't already see the date in the table.
Note: In the grey 'Rate Level' box you will see Restrictions, Guest Offsets, and Guest Levels (if any) that have been applied to the rate on a 'Rate level'.
- Once you've added the start date of the season, you will see the new column in the table.
- Click on the grey '+' box to add the conditions of the season for the respective rate.
- Price (1) - Enter the price that will be applicable for the season.
- Weekend Price (2) - Enter the price that will be applicable for the weekend days within this season, if they are different from the prices for the rest of the weekdays. Please note that you define which are the 'weekend' days when creating the Rate Plan.
Important: If you are creating a season in a derived rate, the 'Price' that you should enter is the amount or % difference between the derived and its base rate.
- Restrictions (3) - enter Restrictions that will be applicable only for this season, if any.
- Guest Offsets (4) - enter Guest Offsets that will be applicable just for this season, if any.
- Guest Levels (5) - enter Guest Levels that will be applicable just for this season, if any.
We have included convenient Copy/Paste buttons that allow you to copy all of the information (prices; restrictions; offsets; levels) and paste it to another season, saving you a significant amount of time and clicks.
Days
Alternatively, you can also apply prices individually per day if you do not generally apply seasonal prices or you simply want to set a specific price for a day/s within a season.
Important: Price applied on a daily level has priority over the one set on a season.
Applying a daily price
To apply a daily price in a rate:
- load the rates which you want to edit by using Rate Search.
- navigate to the Days tab
- Make sure that you have selected 'Price' through the blue button in the top right corner and that you have selected the period for which you want to apply changes.
- click on the cell for the rate/date for which you want to apply the price.
- (1) - enter the price and press 'Enter' on your keyboard to set the price just for this date.
- (2) - enter the price and press the 'Forward' button to apply the price also for the next date.
- (3) - enter the price and press the 'Fast forward' button to apply the price for the whole period you have loaded.
- (4) - enter the price and press the 'Calendar' button to apply the price for specific dates (non-consecutive) within the period you have loaded.
Important: If you are adding a daily price in a derived rate, the value that you should enter is the amount or % difference between the derived and its base rate.
- (5) - Make sure you press the Save button (5) after you apply your changes.
