Properties

[TOC]

Overview

A property is the accommodation business you take bookings for — for example a hotel, villa, homestay or apartment building. Rooms, prices, availability and bookings all belong to a property.

Open Components → OS Calendar → Properties → Manage Properties.

Mode What you do here
Standalone OS Calendar provides one default property. Edit it to enter your business information. In standalone mode you normally work with a single property.
Linked with OS Property The page lists properties linked to OS Property. A notice explains that properties can be imported from OS Property.

Note: A banner at the top of the page tells you whether OS Calendar is running in Standalone Mode or Linked Mode. Change the mode in Configuration → Application → Operation Mode (see Operating Modes).

Property List

The list shows each property with its ID, title, contact details, publishing status and creation date. Use the toolbar to add, edit, publish, unpublish or delete properties.

Note: A property that still has rooms assigned cannot be deleted. Remove or move its rooms first.

Linked Mode: Import and External Mapping

When OS Calendar is linked with OS Property:

  • Use Import from OS Property to bring OS Property properties into OS Calendar.
  • A linked property shows its External Source and External ID, so you can see which OS Property listing it belongs to.
  • If OS Property is not installed or enabled, OS Calendar shows a message that OS Property was not detected and the import is not available.

Needs verification: Which property details (for example title, address, photos) are refreshed from OS Property after the first import, and which can be edited independently in OS Calendar.
