Click on the category headings to view the information. For information on the Value column and how to edit listings, please read the article: Editing Listings (Boost New UI)
The Value Column
The Value column reflects the data that is currently being used for each field. If it says No Value, nothing has been configured.
The Source Column
The Source Column shows where the data in the value column is coming from.
There are 3 options for what will show in this column:
PMS Settings - This indicates that the data in a specific field is coming from your PM Software and any changes you make there will change this value. Note the Name of your specific PM Software will show. Ex: “VRM” or “Streamline”
Channel Settings - This indicates that the data in a specific field is coming from the channel settings page of Boost. Channel Settings change information for all of your listings. This will override what is coming from your PM Software but can be overridden by changes made in Boost at the listing level.
Listing Settings - This indicates that the data in a specific field is coming from edits made in Boost on the listing level. This will override any other source, including your PM software and changes made on the Channel Settings page in Boost. This changes information for a specific listing.
After going through each of the above sections and making the appropriate configurations, review the Jobs page to ensure your Edits successfully completed and have applied to your unit(s). Please see our documentation on how to interpret the Jobs page: Jobs Queue (Boost New UI)
