How to change rates
On the manage page, once you selected a day or several days you would like to update, the Rate Editor opens automatically on the right side, where you can have an overview of all the current and suggested changes for each room type.
If you like to go with the suggested rate you just need to click the green “accept all” button. Afterwards the “Save” button will pop up at the bottom of the page.
By pressing the SAVE key, the system accepts the changes in a log, in which all changes can be checked again. The log is located below the calendar.
Each line can be deselected by pressing on the tick. Once the changes are released, they are also stored in the system. Deselected changes will not be accepted. This makes it very easy to make changes to individual room types.
In case you would like to individualize the rate from the suggested rate you will use the blue “Value” field. Here you have several options to adjust your rate. Those options are, adjust the rates, based on: +/- €, +/-% or the total amount in €. The rate changes of the primary room type will be applied to the other room types accordingly.
IMPORTANT: If you want to individualize the rate you have to click on the blue “adjust” button instead (step 2.).
How to change rates per room type
In order to change the rate of a specific room type you open the dropdown menu of it. Here you will find the current rate difference to the primary room type that you could adjust according to your needs.
Please keep in mind that you will always adjust the difference to the primary room type rate as shown in this example.
As you can see we changed the difference from 20€ to 25€. Once we clicked “Adjust” we see the rate change in the upper right corner where we see the rate increase from 190€ to 195€.
If you like to set back the rate to the original settings (as defined in the price level) you can do so by clicking on “Restore Default”
How could I check if my rate updates where send successfully?
Once you send a rate update you will receive a direct success information on your screen.
With certain PMS however, RateBoard does not push the data, but it will be collected "pulled" by your system. The frequency depends on your settings in the PMS. In this case RateBoard will give you the first "success" as a confirmation that we provide the rate update to be picked up.
During the time the rate update is pending in RateBoard you will see a gray spinner next to the rate.
A red spinner will appear if there was an error while sending the rate. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your revenue manager in this case.
