N/A
CRS-I3117BookNow 2.02025.4.8563BookNow 2.0 content manager pulling wrong property descriptions for some properties
We identified a rare edge case where the Content Manager generates identical content keys using the format {instance}{propertyId}{inventoryId}{languageId}. In this scenario, the combinations propertyId = 1, inventoryId = 1, languageId = 1 and propertyId = 11, languageId = 1 both resolve to the same key (dreams111), causing content to overwrite unexpectedly.
Added a button to Content Manager Site page in the Analytics section. Button can only be seen by Admin login. When pressed all descriptions of the customer will be downloaded for all visible properties and inventories. If the content exists for that property or inventory a new key will be generated with a copy of the content and the old content will be deleted. This needs to be done after a customer has been upgraded to this version. Some content will still be loaded by BookNow but changes coming through will not show as the Content Manager will only show/update content with the new key format.
#215797
CRS-I3133Call Center2025.4.8565Cancellation fees could not be overridden to zero as expected.
Resolved an issue where overriding the cancellation policy to 0 did not apply correctly. When overriding, multiple valid cancellation rules may share the same values, in which case the system selects one (for example, the 100-day rule). Additional logic has been added to prefer retaining the current cancellation rule where possible; however, this cannot be guaranteed in all cases.
#216729
CRS-I3083Call Center2025.4.8574Mandatory service charge per day rate change issue
Fixed issue where overriding a charge per day of stay service with a stay longer than 7 days would not work as expected. Bookings already affected need to be re-opened and the rate override must be removed and reapplied.
N/A
CRS-I3131Admin2025.4.8574PMS Interface Monitor Resend Error Issue
When resending a reservation, rate, or profile message from the error column, all error messages were resent instead of only the selected one.
The system now resends only the selected error message.
N/A
CRS-I3135Call Center2025.4.8574Allow editing of cancellation policy and amounts on past reservation
Call Center will now look at the RIGHT_RESERVATION_EDIT_PAST user right to allow cancelling of past bookings

#216994
CRS-I3118Report2025.4.8589Monthly Occupancy Report timing out due to subreport complexity
Two new reports have been created -Summary and Detailed— to improve performance and prevent timeouts.

Hidden rooms can be included or excluded.
For optimal performance, reports should be run one month at a time.
