Individual Room Type
Calendars

This section allows the user to set custom options for how the online Booking Engine will work. Among the choces are:
This option is useful for Vacation Rentals and properties that wish to show a Room Type calendar for each Room Type instead of one calendar for the entire property. If this option is chosen and the 'room type ID' is passed in the URL to the Central Reservation Service, then the calendar for only that Room Type will show whether a day has availability or not.
Display Room TypesOnly Check this box to only display the room types online, as opposed to every individual room. The room types with their appropriate description and image will be displayed online until there are no rooms of a particular room type left. This option allows a guest to book multiple rooms with one transaction and gives you more flexibility to assign the guest a room of your choosing.
Display Room Capacity Check this box if you would like the user making a possible online booking to view how many of a given room type is available.
Display Guest Types Check this box if you would like prospective guests to designate their guest type when making an online booking. For example, if you offer AAA and AARP discounts, you would create them as guest types with the associated discount, allowing a guest of those types to select the applicable discounted rate.
