The Manage Reservations menu consolidates all reservation-related tools into a single, organized workspace. Previously, reservation functions were spread across four separate areas: Unified Calendar, Reservations List, Reservations Manager, and Reservation Settings. These have now been streamlined into one menu with tabs across the top for easy navigation.
This guide provides an overview of each tab and its purpose, helping you work efficiently within the updated interface.
Accessing the Manage Reservations Menu
To open the new menu:
Navigate to: Reservations > Manage Reservations
Once opened, you’ll see four tabs across the top of the screen:
Unified Calendar
Reservations Grid (Previously Reservations List)
Unit Calendar (Previously Reservations Manager)
Reservation Settings
Each tab represents a tool that previously lived in a separate area but now exists in one unified workspace.
Tabs Overview
1. Unified Calendar
The Unified Calendar (formerly found as its own standalone feature) provides a complete visual overview of availability, reservations, and calendar blocks across your entire portfolio.
Key Functions:
View all properties in a single calendar
Create new reservations or blocks directly from the calendar
Identify gaps in occupancy
Verify real-time availability synced from connected channels
This tab is ideal for portfolio-wide planning and scheduling. For more on the Unified Calendar, read this article.
2. Reservations Grid
Formerly: Reservations List
The Reservations Grid displays all reservations in a structured list view, allowing for detailed filtering, sorting, and searching.
Key Functions:
View all bookings in a table-style format
Filter by date, status, source, unit, guest, and more
Sort columns for quick analysis
Access individual reservation records by clicking any row
This view is best for day-to-day reservation processing and review.
3. Unit Calendar
Formerly: Reservations Manager
The Unit Calendar provides a property-specific calendar view for managers who prefer to work one unit at a time.
Key Functions:
Select a single property to view its reservation timeline
Create, modify, or cancel bookings for that specific unit
Review turnover gaps or overlapping stays
Manage holding blocks or owner stays
This tab is particularly helpful when communicating with homeowners or handling unit-specific tasks.
4. Reservation Settings
The Reservation Settings tab consolidates configuration options that control how reservations behave across your system.
Key Functions:
Define reservation rules, payment schedules, and policies
Configure taxes, fees, and optional extras
Set automation preferences related to reservations
Configure reservation flags and AOA categories
All settings that influence reservation creation and management now exist inside this tab for easier access and better system organization.
