Restriction management improvements


Userlevel 5
Badge +4

To support you to set up your restrictions in Mews, we are working towards increasing restriction management within Mews! 

What does that mean:

  • Bulk create restrictions for various variables; such as rates, rate groups and spaces. 
  • Bulk delete restrictions.
  • … and more to come! 

I am happy to inform you that we opened beta testing in the live environment already for bulk creation of restrictions * and will soon be adding bulk deletion of restrictions to the test as well. 

 

*For properties managing restrictions in Mews, not YET properties managing restrictions with an integration. 

 

Sounds good? Let me know if you would like to join the beta testing for these, and potentially upcoming initiatives by commenting below 😁

Hi Nienke; would this also work when part of our restrictions (i.e. MLOS2) is managed by an integration, but other restrictions (such as closing excl. breakfast or certain roomtypes) by MEWS?

This is by far one of the best “time saving” inventions for us! :-)

Please Nienke, check your e-mail cause I e-mailed you this morning about this

@Nienke Wilbrink I would be very interested to take part in this beta! I spend many hours each season to set up a CTA and a CTD restrictions manually for each property, and each week. A way to bulk create and edit these would be very welcome :)

 

We’re listed as “Oftang GmbH”.

 

kind regards,

Hi  @Nienke Wilbrink ,

Would be very nice to manage restrictions in a more efficient way, but do you have a bit more documentation about this?

Or can you quickly release it on our demo account, just to have a quick look and inform our staff corectly!

Thanks

Dirk

Hi @Kayleigh,

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, this is currently not yet possible. However, I am happy to inform you on our progress once we have enabled the function for this use-case!

Thanks @Nienke Wilbrink, for enabling the beta for us. We had a look and it’s definitely an improvement!

One important question though, when you implement the new ‘restriction deleting’ function, will we be able to do the following?

Create a CTA restriction for each monday for the whole year 2024.
Then delete the CTA restriction for one specific monday (let’s say monday the 1st of april) only.

Or do we then still have to create two seperate restriction rules?
One for 01.01.2024 to 30.03.2024.
And another one for 02.04.2024 to 31.12.2024.

Currently this is proving to be our main cause of manual labour in restriction management. If you set up a restriction and later want to change something for a specific date, you end up creating endless additional restriction rules and can get ‘lost in the forest’ quite easily.

Hi @andreas ,

Thank you for your comment and great to hear the improvement! 

This is something we call “Splicing” and is on it’s way together with the bulk delete. We are currently working on it in the list view. I will update here when this function is ready to test :D 

Hope this is helpful!
