The Policy Grid is used to publish policies relating to Guarantees and Cancellations for specific dates per rate type.
It is possible to link a cancellation policy to a rate type. When for example a reservation is created for a room with a corporate rate, the cancellation policy can differ when the same room is booked with another rate type. When the reservation will be cancelled too late (according to the cancellation policy) a popup message will appear. The message will show the description entered in Settings > Reservation > Cancellation policy.
The Policy Grid can be accessed from the Settings > Reservations > Policy grid
Once the option is selected, a date window opens (default to current day) Enter the date required for policy grid viewing or editing.
Select the checkmark or press <Enter>
The grid opens in calendar format similar to the rate and package grids beginning with the Monday closest to the date entered and showing an overview of 6 weeks.
To edit a date, double click on the day within the calendar and the edit value window opens.
Start and End dates can be filled with the required policy dates
