Stuff like this is why I haven't activated OR's SMS feature yet, despite being an early proponent of it and asking to be put in the beta.
I think with as much as the OR system is maturing (including offering channel messaging integrations and SMS functionality), it's past time the OR team develops (or contracts to develop) mobile apps with push notifications and quick access to a messaging inbox. Real...

One of the things OwnerRez is known for is our commitment to updating old features with new settings, options and ideas over time. We don't just build new stuff, we watch and maintain the old stuff too. This past week, we added a set of new quote-based field codes to our field codes list which are as follows:
* QTTAX - The total amount of tax for this quo...

From there, you can add your own text, move stuff around or insert other field codes. You have complete control to do what you want.

...In the above picture, the top booking is a booking that is not API-connected to the channel and only shows the Channel Bridge import. The bottom booking is API-connected and shows the API-connected stuff along with Channel Bridge stuff next to each other. Over time, we plan to add more information here.
With PMs now using our new "exclude" option on statements, we added Shift + Click so that you c...

...dditional call. Pretty sweet, right!
One of the high-level goals of the 2.0 API is to reduce chatter and provide a more-functional interface for developers. In other words, we want you to do more stuff with fewer calls. This approach of mixing in tags and fields achieves that because, as a partner, you can request booking data and see the tags and fields for that booking at the same time without m...

...iggers, scheduled emails, etc) are collapsed and show as a thin gray timeline event with a summary. We did this so that the conversation is not cluttered up with lots and lots of redundant automated stuff, and the ad hoc messages stand out. If you click on these thin gray events, the original email will load in.
You'll notice that inquiries, quotes and bookings also show, but they too are collapsed...

...when you come up with a new design.
The owner statement was tweaked to allow temporarily-showing full amounts and some other things as well. Give it a look!
While we were in there working on PM stuff, we also added the ability to set commission to quarter percents. For instance, now you can set commission to be 20.25% instead of 20 or 20.5%, and you can do this everywhere commission is set - on...

Stats on duplicated properties. We noticed a bug where the Duplicate Properties function would not update the stats for occupancy, bedrooms, min/max pricing - basically the stuff you see on the property's General Info tab. The underlying occupancy rules, bedroom information and so on was in there, but the new property didn't show any numbers in those General Info stats. This...

A lot of the stuff is out there - articles, forum threads, etc.
I am a writer by trade. There is two parts to documentation 1) content and 2) getting people to that content.
The main problem I am finding in setting up, is it is a fishing expedition to find applicable explanations and grasp stuff to apply it. You would spend less time explaining some stuff to forum questioners, if you organized 80% o...

Hi Marinas Edge,
Lots coming. We're down in the guts right now finishing some changes to how guest name/email/phone stuff is stored so that we can move to some CRM features in the near future.
We're also debuting our first pass at reporting in the release, and there are several bug fixes.
Bunch of minor stuff in how stuff is displayed on calendar/ribbon view. More on that soon too.
We're also wor...

Yep! We'll be adding a cleaning date as part of our next update to PM and the portal stuff. Fear not, the cleaning date itself on the booking will be part of the base package.
The PM/housekeeping package will get an additional workflow around the cleaning date where a cleaner can be assigned to a booking, the owner or cleaner can set the date, and then the cleaner can accept the cleaning and mark it...
