How to set up my custom short break departure grid?

Updated on

For a more detailed setup of arrival and departure days, we would recommend using the departure grid.
As we need to enable this feature in your account, please contact our Support team using this email address [email protected],
We will let you know as soon as we have made the required amendments.

Expand or collapse content Setting up custom short breaks in the price planner
  1. Go to Properties > Edit > Price planner (in the drop-down menu) > Go.
  2. In the price planner click into the start date of the short breaks you want to set up.

A pop-up with the departure grid will come up.

On the left hand side you will find the Arrival day rows and along the top of the table you will see columns for the Allowed departure days.

  1. Tick the boxes in the grid according to your requirements.
  2. Click Save at the bottom of the pop-up.

  1. Tick the boxes in the grid according to your requirements.

Please note:
When you are forwarding the last minute short breaks to your price planner any short breaks already set up in the price planner will be overwritten.

Expand or collapse content Select complete rows, columns, days

If you want to select all boxes in a row or column, there is a simple shortcut to do this.
Click onto the weekday name for the allowed departure and the whole column will be selected.

Selecting Sunday and Thursday as a departure day for all arrival days.

Selecting the Tuesday and Wednesday as only arrival days in the week for all departure days

Clicking on the name of the weekday, ticks all boxes for that arrival day.

Example

If you want to allow a guest to arrive on a Monday and depart on a Thursday or Friday only, you would tick these boxes.

Please note:
Repeatedly clicking will tick/untick the options.

Expand or collapse content Examples

6 nights are allowed when arriving on a Monday.
This means the departure day would be a Sunday.

It might look at bit strange, only one box being ticked, but that is all it takes.

Departing on Thursday and Friday, as well as booking full weeks, are allowed when arriving on Monday.
This would mean that the guests can stay 3, 4 and 7 nights. Also 10, 11, 14 nights would be possible as it would be the original 3, 4, and 7 nights plus a full week. Therefore using the same departure days.

The classic 4 nights from Monday/3 nights from Friday choice for short breaks would look like this:

If 3 nights + full week(s) from Monday and 4 nights + full week(s) from Friday are allowed, the grid would show two more ticks:
