Configuring Advanced Field Settings
Back to top
The Advanced tab houses settings which determine whether the field is specific to select Guest Types or items/products.
Guest Type Specific
The Guest Type Specific switch enables the option to select the parameters to which the guest field should apply.
For example, you may wish to ask a question of your adult Guests, which simply doesn't apply to children.
In such a scenario, you would turn on the Guest Type Specific switch to reveal your list of linked parameters and then check the Adults parameter, leaving Children unchecked.
If you have a large number of parameters listed, then you quickly update your fields by clicking Select All or Select None.
Above is an example of how a Guest-specific field can be identified in your Booking Manager.
 |
If the Guest Type Specific switch is left turned off, then the system assumes you wish all parameters to be applied to the Guest field you are creating/editing. Leaving the switch turned off does not mean that the field is inactive. |
Product/Item Specific
With the Product/Item Specific switch, you can select specific categories and/or individual products/items to which the field you are creating/editing should be applied.
For instance, if you are an accommodation provider, then you may wish to ask your Guests a question related to staying in a particular type of room.
By selecting the room(s) after activating the switch, you are ensuring that this question is only shown to Guests who are part of a booking on those products/items.
The field you have configured now only appears during the checkout process when the item/product is added to a booking. Product/item-specific fields are identified in your Booking Manager by the label shown in the screenshot above.
|
If the product/item-specific switch is left turned off, then the system assumes you wish all products/items to be applied to the guest field you are creating/editing. Therefore, if you only wish to apply the field to certain products/items, you must activate the switch and select the appropriate products/items from the options provided. Leaving the switch turned off does not mean that the field is inactive. |
