[NEW!] Selected Sync for CRS & Channel Managers

We've introduced new filters on the CRS sync screen to reduce outbound traffic and get updates to external systems faster. Instead of always sending everything, users will be able to select specific rate codes (for rate syncs) or room types (for inventory syncs) to send. This is especially useful when an issue affects only one item—there's no need to resync everything else.

This capability is available across all CRS/Channel Manager integrations: SynXis, Windsurfer, TravelClick, Pegasus, Inntopia, RateTiger, SiteMinder, D-Edge, Cubilis, Stayntouch Channel Manager (Channex), and STAAH.

How It Works

Syncing RATE: A list of values (LOV) appears, letting the user select which rate code(s) to sync.
Syncing INVENTORY: A LOV appears, letting the user select which room type(s) to sync.

Selection is required, not optional: users must select one or more rate codes when syncing rates, and one or more room types when syncing inventory. If no value is selected, an error message displays.

Added benefit: Because the rate codes available for selection are only the ones already added under Settings > Rates > Channel Manager, this makes it immediately obvious if a rate code is missing from that setup—it simply won't appear in the list.

How the 3-Hour (180-Minute) Sync Restriction Applies

The existing 180-minute restriction between syncs does not apply when each sync targets a single, different rate code or room type. In other words, users can run multiple syncs for rates or room types within the same time window, as long as a different value is selected each time. The restriction only kicks in if the user tries to resync the same rate code or room type again within the 180-minute window.
