Close Rates Levels for online sales (BW) (Cloud)

Visual Matrix's room management system has an automated process for closing and reopening room types based on availability. When a room type is sold out, it is automatically closed, and when a room becomes available, it is reopened. However, there is an option for manual control called a "hard close," which overrides the automated system. You can choose to "hard close" an entire room type, all rooms simultaneously, or even just one specific room. Additionally, the "Apply Range" feature allows you to specify the scope of your changes, providing flexibility in managing room availability.

Path1: Front Office > Supervisor > System Maint > Central Res BW 2 > Availability from the toolbox on the right
Path2: Management > Rates > Min Night
Path3: Management > Interfaces > All Interfaces > Central Res BW 2 > Availability from the toolbox on the right
