Manage the Permission for Charging to Credit Card Tokens with the New User Role: “Charge to Token”
Within RB accounts, individual users can be created for each staff member with different permission levels, allowing administrators to control which system features each user can access.
We are pleased to introduce a new user role: Charge to Token. This permission allows administrators to manage which users have the authority to charge guests using credit card tokens stored in the system.
This new user role can be managed by Super Admin users from the Users page.
For more details on credit card tokenisation, please visit the help site.
Menu Consolidation
We have heard your feedback and we took action! In order to improve your experience and make more sense of navigating the Menus within RoomBoss, we have consolidated some functionalities to more intuitive Menus. The updated layout is designed for RoomBoss veterans to find what they are looking for with ease, while also guiding new RoomBoss Users to easily navigate RoomBoss to get your business up and running.
Listing Availability Search Feedback
We've enhanced our Booking Engine to offer valuable hints to potential guests searching for availability at your accommodation. Now, guests will see helpful information, like the minimum number of nights required, to quickly determine availability — and much more! These upgrades will not only enrich the guest experience during their search but also help you capture more bookings by ensuring no potential travelers slip through the cracks.
New “Super Admin” Role
Within a ROOMBOSS account, in addition to the Account Master User created at the time of account setup, individual users can be created for each staff member with different permission levels. This allows businesses to control which features each user can access within the system.
We’re excited to introduce a new user role: Super Admin. Users assigned this role will have the same level of access as the Account Master User, enabling them to configure all settings within the account.
This new role can be assigned from the Users page in the system.
[PMS] Channel Manager Dashboard
We've launched a new Channel Manager Dashboard to easily monitor what room types and rate plans are connected to each OTA. It's also possible to download the connection state as an Excel spreadsheet.
Coming next for the Channel Manager Dashboard is a feature to help manage the linking of rate plans with OTAs.
[PMS] Automated Gap Management
Set a Gap Management Policy that covers bookings received from your website, OTAs and travel agents.
A Gap Management Policy can automatically protect against small, hard-to-fill gaps. It can also be used to prevent check-out and check-in on the same day, for example to allow time for housekeeping.
