Connected Rooms

Introduction

Properties often have two rooms that are located next to each other and are separated by a locked door between them. This creates a possibility to connect those rooms into a single one, which can be booked independently either from the Booking Engine or channels.

Each connected room can have one or more pairs of regular rooms. You can think of it as a room type having several rooms.

How to Create a Connected Room

To create a connected room, go to Options -> Settings -> Connected rooms. Then click the button saying 'New connected room' and the wizard with two tabs will appear.

In the first tab of Basic data, you have to enter the data for the connected room itself, such as Title, Color of display in the calendar, or Priority that will affect the ordering of connected rooms (along with actual room types) in several places of the system.

Once data is successfully saved, second tab of Pairs will get available. Click the button saying New pair, which will display all the necessary fields on the right side. The most important field is Pair as it defines the rooms that are actually connected to each other and form a single connected room. Once you click on it, a drop-down will appear listing all available rooms in your property.

Once you save a new pair, it will be displayed in the grid on the left side, indicating the title and rooms included in it.

After closing the wizard, the grid will show all existing connected rooms, indicating the related fields, including the comma separated list of all existing pairs for it.
