Overview

Colors on the The Enhanced Dynamic Pricing Calendar may now be chosen by the resort. Additionally, language strings for the labels can be customized.

  • Language strings now allow for the customization of the “Sold Out” language.

  • Available inventory is available on mobile as well as desktop using the following language:

    • suggestion - plenty (green), limited (yellow), not available (red or grey)

    • Toggle for color-coding based on pricing level OR based on inventory

  • A legend is on top of the calendar to indicate what each color represents in terms of product availability.

Will something need to be installed or will it just be available with the version?

...

  • The dynamic pricing calendar will either be relocated into the Dynamic Pricing plugin or into a new theming UI that will allow for resorts to configure the calendar and have non-deploy-dependent changes

Different colors will display on each calendar day depending on inventory or level numbers and how they relate to the globally predetermined thresholds. The enhanced calendar also features language strings that allow for further customization of the legend and the calendar boxes.
