Enhanced group booking filters

When creating a group booking, filters for segments and amenities are now available to further specify available objects. Another new selector also allows assigning a dedicated channel to a group booking.

The PMS pages for sending booking confirmations and invoices have an updated, responsive layout. Primary action buttons stay fixed on screen without scrolling. A new sidebar displays quick summaries of reservations and payment schedules.

Price calculation details in the guest portal

The guest portal now shows the calculation logic used for extras and upgrades. Per item, a tooltip or subtitle indicaties the cost breakdown, such as 'per person per day'. This transparency helps guests understand total charges before purchasing extras.

Owner pages show agreements with metrics for personal stays

In an owner’s detail page, more agreement details are displayed instead of focusing on objects only. Users can view metrics such as occupancy and reviews, alongside the applicable owner reservation discounts for personal stays.
