An older all-in-one version of the three sync screens. It has three tabs, Sync Reservation, Sync Statistics and Sync Inventory, and one Sync button at the bottom that acts on the tab you are looking at. The menu entry for it is switched off in current versions; the same functions live in the Sync group (Sync Reservation, Sync Statistics, Sync Inventory). Support staff may still use this address.

Before you start

Screen layout

Page title: Sync Reservation / Statistics / Inventory with the line "Choose what to send to the interface: pick the dates, press Show, tick the rows and press Sync." Before you press Show the list says "Nothing to show yet" ("Pick the dates or a guest criteria and press Show to list the reservations you can sync."); the grid header shows "n Records" and a Select all box.

Tips and FAQ

  • Q: Where did this page go in the menu? A: Use the Sync group in the left menu; it offers the same three functions on separate pages.
  • Q: Does the bottom Sync button send all three tabs? A: No, only the tab that is open.
  • Q: The error messages show as green. A: Known cosmetic issue: some error messages use the success colour.
