Autopilot overview

Configuration of the Autopilot

  1. Login to your Rateboard account and open the Manage-Calendar (1) > click on the little Autopilot cogwheel on the right hand side of your screen (2).

  1. The tab for the configuration of the autopilot opens up:

  • Fill in the period you would like to have sent the rates automatically (1)

  • Optional: fill in a maximum deviation above and/or below from the base rate (2)
    > check your base rate as described in 2a

  • Optional: Decide, if the configurations should be applied to all room categories (3)

 

2a. Check the base rate: settings (1) > price level (2) > price level (3) > base rate (4)

Activate the autopilot:

First choose the category  (1) and then activate the switch (3)

The “robot icon” next to the category shows whether the autopilot is activated for this specific category or not:

blue robot (1) = autopilot is activated

grey robot (2) = autopilot is not activated

 

The autopilot must be activated for each category separately.

 

  1. The

autopilot is active now and is sending the rates in regular intervals to your PMS/CM

  1. The robot icon in the Manage calendar shows days, where Autopilot is active.

Please also note: On days, when Autopilot is active, you are not able to send rates manually.
If you want to exclude individual days from the autopilot and want to set / send rates manually, please use the “Freeze Rate Functionality”.

 

Freeze Rates

You have the option to deactivate the autopilot for certain days, i.e. fixing the rate. You can still manually send rates to your PMS / CM for these days.
Caution! The rates are always fixed for the selected room category only.

You can fix rates up to a year into the future once the autopilot has been activated.

Select one or multiple days in the manage calendar and open the autopilot menu

You can identify days with fixed rates by the red robot icon

 

Sending Rates - Frequency

The rates are being sent every day, depending on the PMS, between 11 pm and 6 am
