Updates

Here we keep you updated on the latest developments within Booking Experts.

Week 46 - 2024

PMS

⭐️Remove the object setup "for rent" option. Now every setup will be considered for rent. Instead of creating not for rental setups, the user can set the setup's "active till" date to determine when the object is not for rental.

Replaced the existing 'App Store' permission with a more generic permission called 'IT management'. With this permission you have also the ability to do domain management.
Object ical tab: Hide the new ical channel buttons if the object is virtual

⭐️ Introduced minimum and maximum prices for costs. It is now possible to set minimum and maximum prices for any costs. You can set a fixed maximum, a maximum per day, per guest, or per guest per day.

⭐️ Updated order item modal in reservation view. Order item modal now gives detailed information on how the price was calculated, including how many guests were counted and why, if any minimum/maximum price was applied.

Added a manual close button to the circuit admin. Also separated the subcircuit state from the main circuit state.
Users can now filter on reservations where late check-out is enabled.
Changed the links for the Booking Experts Academy in PMS, so you are redirected to the right pages. Two new courses have also been added.
Expanded the period filter on the visits page, so that it is possible to see the visits of other periods than only fixed months.
For administrations with no online payment methods (e.g. customers in the Caribbean), the payment options are hidden in the checkout portal. Guests confirm the booking without payment and are redirected to the "Thanks for your booking" page. The last step in the checkout portal will simply show the payment schedule. After confirmation, administrations are expected to inform their guests on how to pay for their booking in the booking confirmation mail template. When there are no online payment methods, the QR Code on invoices is hidden.
The owner agreement import can now also import dynamic (Yes/No/Different amount) periodic cost items based on the set of costs that is available on the park.

Invoice items export has been extended to include Costs and commission arrangement to make a correct mapping or comparison based on the data provided.

⭐️ It is now possible to extend the length of stay of a reservation by adding the extra nights at the current rental price to the original rental price. In addition, while updating the length of stay of a reservation, it is possible to update the rental price and charges + their prices separately. This helps the user to have more flexibility in how to extend, shorten or update the stay.

The internal name of charges is now shown in all forms where you can select charges.
We now show alerts to the user while updating the length of stay of a booking. This lets the user know whether they are extending, shortening or updating the stay and by how many nights. If the user also updates the object, we show what the previous selected object was, so the user can go back to that object without leaving the page.
When creating a setup for an object, the object-specific facilities of the last existing setup are selected by default.
The reservation filters of the organisation's reservation view have been extended to include the same filters as at the administration level.

CMS

( For organisation managers, everything remains the same, as 'App-store' permissions are still included in the manager permissions. Note that this permission applies to the organisation as a whole, and so can only be granted and revoked via the organisation-level employee list).

CMS

In the CMS, we now mostly use the primary colour from the colour scheme for accent colours such as icons. This is to make migration easier. In future designs, we may also include the secondary colour.

BRANDING UPDATE 📢

What has changed.

We are introducing two types of brands:

Administration brand: every administration is required to have an administration brand. The administration brand is used for all communication from the administration to the guest (invoices, templates, emails, checkout portal, payment portal, guest portal).
Channel brand: it is optional to have channel brands. A channel brand overwrites the administration brand for the checkout and payment portal for the set channel
