Creating Hourly Amenities for Commercial Properties
Having an Hourly Amenity allows your tenants to book amenity on an hourly basis allowing only one user to book at a time. In this article you will learn, how to create Hourly Amenities and manage them.
Creating Hourly Amenities
Step 1
After logging into your property's
Admin Portal
, select Operations and then select Amenities under Property Services.
Step 2
Under Amenities, select Add Amenity in the right corner.
Step 3
Name the Amenity and give it a description. Under the description, select Yes for Should Amenity have a Calendar? This will open the options for the type of booking. Select Hourly. This will prompt Cost per Hour and Additional Flat Price to appear. Here you are able to include any prices you will be charging for the Amenity. If no charges are required, set to $0.
Step 4
Finish the rest of the amenity setup and select Save Changes when complete.
Changing Existing Amenities to Hourly
After an Amenity has been created, you are unable to change the Type of Booking. In the case an amenity needs to change, for example, from Day-Wise to Hourly, you will need to delete or deactivate the existing amenity. Afterward, you will recreate the amenity, this time selecting Hourly under Type of Booking.
Step 1
Make sure you have all of the information you would like to include in the amenity you are replacing. Check the existing amenity for the information before deleting or deactivating. To view the amenity,
select the three horizontal dots next to the amenity you are going to replace with an Hourly booking. From the dropdown, select Open. Copy and paste the information or take screenshots to ensure you are recreating the amenity with the same information.
Step 2
Deactivate or delete the existing amenity. Under Amenities, select the three horizontal dots next to the amenity you are going to replace with an hourly booking. From the dropdown, select Delete or Deactivate.
Delete:
Deleting an amenity will remove it from occupants' view and from the portal altogether.
Deactivate:
Deactivating an amenity will remove it from Occupants' view but will remain in the portal.
Step 3
After deleting or deactivating, create a new amenity selecting Hourly under Type of Booking. Include all of the information for the amenity and select Submit.
