Seasons
Changing the number of season will change the number of tabs at the top of this dialog to match the number of season you have selected.
It will also show a new table that is used to name and detail the season you have.
Field | How It’s Used | |
A | Season Table | List of seasons to separate your rate details based on date. |
B | Season Row | This row contains a label so you can identify which season it represents, the start month and date to match the changes to your rates. Double clicking anywhere on the row allows you to modify the values stored here. Ensue the labels are descriptive enough so you can distinguish the rows from one another easily. |
C | Row Edit Controls | When editing a row, the start month column becomes a drop down field to make it easier to change the month The Day column becomes a numerical input field. |
D | Bill Profile Settings | These controls are used to confirm, discard, or revert the changes you have made to these rows. The check mark stores it in the table to be saved with the rest of the rate profile. The X discards the changes, and returns to display mode. The two arrows pointing at one another revert the changes back to what the fields were when you started editing the fields, and the circular arrow reverts the values back to the default values. |
Weekends
Enabling this box will change the rate details page, it change the name of the rate table to Weekday Rates, and add another table that follows the same rate structure called Weekend Rates. You will have to update the Weekend Rates to match the rates you are paying, to do so follow the same instructions as the rates tables found on the pages connected to the structure you have set.
