Manage Room Types

[TOC]

Overview

In OS Calendar, guests book a room type (for example Deluxe Double or Family Suite). A room type has a number of rooms (quantity), a capacity, photos and amenities. Prices and availability are set per room type.

Open Components → OS Calendar → Properties → Manage Room Types. This works in both standalone mode and when linked with OS Property. In standalone mode, all room types belong to your default property.

Note: If you want to track individual physical rooms (101, 102 ...), add Room Units to the room type. See Room Units.
