Room Type Content Configuration
On this page
This page holds the extra descriptive details about one room type that online travel agents (through the CRS / channel manager) show to guests: the room code, cribs and rollaway beds, room size, amenities with quantities, sub rooms such as bedrooms in an apartment, and photos. A hotel uses it once per room type when connecting to a channel manager, and again whenever the room content changes.
Before you start
- The property is connected to a channel manager (CRS) and the room type has Is CRS Enable ticked in Room Type.
- Amenities and sub room types are loaded from the channel manager's catalogue, so the channel manager connection must be working.
How to open it
The screen opens empty until you choose the Room Type Code.
The Room Type list has code for a settings icon that would open this page, but the icon is currently switched off, so the page has no menu entry. Support staff or an administrator can open it by typing the address #/room-type/<room type ID> (the ID column of the Room Type list). Close goes back to the previous page.

Tips and FAQ
- Q: My rooms have no cot or rollaway. What do I enter? A: Enter 0. Since 2026-10-18 the screen accepts 0 for cribs, rollaways and area (it used to demand a value above 0).
- Q: I cannot see Sub Room Types. A: The Room Type Code is not one of the apartment-style types listed above.
- Q: Where is this page in the menu? A: Nowhere in this version; open it by address. Treat this as a known gap and ask support if you need it.
