Frontdesk Anywhere allows you to take some rooms off all channels or to increase the availability value. You will have both the ability to select how many rooms you wish to protect and decide by how many reservations you wish to overbook.
In the Admin Settings, click on the blue link Published Rooms under section Rooms:
select Channel on the top right list to update channel availability
IBE - Internet Booking Engine (Hotel Website)
FRONT DESK - PMS
Frontdesk Anywhere Connect - Chanel Manager (OTA)
You will see a list of all your room types, and four columns:
Real column shows the real availability for each type, meaning the number of rooms actually created and listed under a type; it is unmediatable.
OBA column stands for Overbooking Allowance: you can edit this field and add the number of reservations by which you want to overbook
Protect column you will need to place the number of rooms you want to hide or protect from all channels. The Total column will show the final availability value; the latter is calculated in the following simple formula:
Real Availability + Overbooking Allowance - Protected Rooms = Total Availability
How to change the number of each column
use mouse to click in each column in the room type row to activate UPRIGHT and DROPDOWN arrows --> SAVE to update
