Calendar Options: How to make changes directly from the calendar

Do you want to make changes for specific dates, but don't want to have to open the rental rates overlay? With the Calendar Options feature, you can edit rates and create hold events directly to the rates calendar.

1. Click and drag to select the dates

   

   There are multiple actions that can be performed directly in a Rategenie calendar. You will click and drag to highlight the dates that you want to edit. If you perform this action on the multi-calendar, then you can select multiple rentals at once. This will open the calendar options modal.

   How to add a manual rate

2. Click the Add Manual Rate button

   

   The Add Manual Rate button is the first option in the calendar options modal. First, click here to open the Add Manual Rate modal.
