How to Add CityWide Events (Data Collections) to Guestroom Availability

Date collections are special dates, such as holidays, citywides, and promotions, that impact your property's inventory, rates, and operations. When users hover over the column header of a highlighted date, the following details display:
  • The name of the date collection and its category, for example, citywide or holiday.
  • The applicable date range and property.
  • Any additional information or special instructions related to that day. If multiple date collections are in the view, details for each display.
