Re-order individual rooms if needed by clicking and dragging the individual room and/or room title. Note that the order will only reflect on the Booking Engine and the Calendar.
Organizing beds into Rooms will apply a line to divide your accommodations in the Calendar. This feature only applies to shared dorms.
When setting up Split Inventory, you should also enable the setting Book the Specific Accommodation in the Booking Engine Settings; this is necessary only for the linked room types.
This will prevent errors in the Booking Engine. For instance, if your customers add multiple linked room types to the shopping cart, enabling this option will block other linked room types from being added to the cart once one is selected.
