Welcome! These are the instructions for updating your property's information on Room-Availability.com™. If you have already received your password - you are ready to begin. If do not have a password, please contact us so that you can pick one. If you haven't yet signed up, please go to Sign Up. You will find the system extraordinarily easy and simple to use! Any problems at all - which we are certain you won't - we will be right here to support you. If you are updating your availability for the first time, you might want to print out this page for ease of reference. Here is the URL to access and update your "availability": http://www.room-availability.com/2update.htm We'd recommend that you bookmark the URL. 1 - Enter your zipcode and your password where prompted. (If you don't remember your password just e-mail us and we will send it to you again). Then click on the "Submit Your Password" button. 2 - Once signed on you will find 2 options: Update room availability Update room description and price Click on the circular button next to the "Update room availability" option. Directly beneath the "Update room availability" option that you just clicked on, you will see a pull-down menu that displays each of the upcoming weeks that your availability calendar is set up for. For first timers - that will be 4 weeks (see point 5 below). You will need to select the week that you are updating BEFORE you click on the "Submit Choice" button. Then click on the "Submit Choice" button. 3 - Once you are at the week you selected you will be able to update availability information for that week. There is a pull-down menu on each date that has 3 options: blank - means the room is Available R - means Reserved - (please don't use this option at this time.) N/A - means the room is Not Available or booked. Select the "blank" option to make a room Available. That's it - it's that easy and should only take a moment to do. 4 - After you update the first week that you selected you can then pick another week to update. To be absolutely clear - only 1 week at a time will be displayed. This will enable you to go directly to any week that you need to update without scrolling through other weeks of information. 5 - The system has a flexible and expandable calendar feature. This means that each Innkeeper can decide to set their Availability Calendar for any time period from 4 weeks to 6 months in 3 week time segments - 4 weeks, 7 weeks, 10 weeks, 13 weeks, 16 weeks, etc, etc. You get the idea. Since not everyone will be interested in updating availability information for the full 6 months, each Innkeeper can decide how many weeks of information they are interested in maintaining. When you are first set up you will be using the 4 week default; if you want to expand to a longer time-period, just let us know. 6 - You can select the "Update room description and price" to edit any of your room descriptions including rates and seasons on-line whenever you want. 7 - Remember this is NOT A RESERVATION SYSTEM. YOU still speak with your guests and control the booking. The room availability system only works for you when the information is accurate and current, so please remember to update your room availability information. Additional Notes: A new week is added to the Calendar every Sunday night. When we add a new week to the end of the Calendar the system defaults all the rooms for that week to N/A. Therefore the Innkeeper must update that new week to make the rooms Available. There are several reasons why the system defaults the room to N/A. Innkeepers prefer not to have to remember to go on-line to update the new week during their busiest time periods This avoids any problems with Guests who call thinking that the rooms are available Innkeepers feedback that they want to control what they show as Available If you have any problem using this system or have any question, please e-mail us. Of course you can call us at (845) 383-0088. The Room-Availability.com Team
