Action on EmbraceScotland
All members should today have received an email from us letting them know about the launch of the new redesigned EmbraceScotland website. Please let us know if not!
This News piece is a follow-up to the item in that email about updating Facilities icons for those who have multiple individual properties represented by a single Property Page. If you only have one property, or you have set up a Property Page for each of your properties individually, you should not need to do anything.
The new EmbraceScotland separates out all properties into individual entities. This is so that our new Search system only returns results that actually meet the visitor’s search criteria. (On the old site, searches were more vague because we could only say ‘one or more of this owner’s properties has this feature’.)
Where chosen in a Search or using the Filters, EmbraceScotland results now take account of
- The facilities provided in each individual property
- The availability of a specific property
- The price of the period searched for (if you use the WBE or SuperControl)
- Quality Assurance – star grading of the property or CTQ of the owner/manager
- Geographical region of Scotland
We need you to check that the specific details that apply to each of your properties are displaying accurately, and to use our system to update any that are no longer correct. Of course, accuracy is very important, for visitors and so that you do not disappoint or mislead a potential customer.
If you use the ASSC Availability Calendar only (don’t take online bookings via EmbraceScotland)
- Go to “Your account > Properties” in the Members’ Area
- Click the red “Update your Availability and Property Details” text link in the top right of the control panel
- Click on the “Property details” button to update the facilities (you still use the “Availability” button to change availability).
If you use the ASSC WBE or are a full SuperControl client
- Login to your SuperControl account at https://secure.supercontrol.co.uk
- Follow the menus to “Integrations > Channel Manager > Regional” and select ASSC
- You can then tick the facilities that apply to each of your properties. Then click save at the bottom.
- For these memebrs all pricing and availability is synchronised automatically
