- Room descriptions are defined on this screen in the “Description” field and will update in chameleon™ in real time.
- Inform b4checkin of all room types that you want to display, so we can confirm chameleon™ is able to access to each type.

Room Pictures

Room Counts
- Each room type must have room count values entered in the web settings of Visual One to be sold by chameleon™.
- Specify a date range and select "Get Room Counts".
- The "Sell to" column indicates the number of rooms that you want to hold back from general availability.
- If "sell to=0", chameleon™ will sell online until the general availability is zero.
- If "sell to = 5", chameleon™ will stop selling online when 5 rooms are left in general availability.
- If "sell to=0", chameleon™ will sell online until the general availability is zero.
- The number of rooms entered under each "room type" is the number of rooms (per room type) that chameleon™ will sell each night.
- Note that chameleon™ will never overbook regardless of what is set here.
- If "BSRQ=70" then chameleon™ will sell 70 BSRQ rooms, assuming all 70 are available. If you specify only 70 and have 80 in inventory, chameleon™ will leave 10 rooms for other channels to sell.
