The Rates selected will ALL change by the adjustment amount in the chosen time period. For example, if you choose the KING and Queen Rates, for Oct. 1- 31, 2016, then enter a dollar adjustment of -10, then both of those rates will be reduced by $10.

• Begin Date: and End Date: Select the date range by choosing a "Begin Date" and and "End Date" using the calendar picker.  Choosing the correct date range is a very important part of managing rates.You can select any date range from one day, weekend, week or month to several years in the future. For example, if you  choose Oct. 1 - Oct. 30 and Oct. 1 lands on a Saturday, then the first day of the week displayed is Saturday.Although the date range selected is one month, the calendar will always display a seven day weekly view. This means that when you change a rate on the Friday night, it will change the rates for ALL Fridays from Oct. 1-Oct.30. The rate changes you make will apply to ALL rates in the selected date range. If you are changing rates for a long date range like two years, then remember that it will over ride any short term changes made to specific time periods within the date range. For example,  there are special rates entered for 4th of July weekend. The date range selected is through Dec. 2018. Any changes made through Dec. 2018 would override the the special rates and you will need to go the 4th of July weekend to reenter the rates.
