Cloudbeds need to know which accommodation corresponds to which door in Visionline.

1. Open Visionline desktop application and go to View.
2. Access Doors to find exact door names.

3. Go to Additional Settings in Cloudbeds, and then click on the View/Edit button for the Door Mapping.

4. Map your doors - link each accommodation unit from Cloudbeds to the door name in Visionline.

It is possible to link one door to multiple accommodation units in Cloudbeds.

Example:
If you have the shared inventory feature enabled, you can sell room 101 as several different accommodations. In this case, enter the door ID to each accommodation configuration.

Natively, Visionline doesn't support key cards for dorms.
In this case, you can set up your dorms as “doors” in Visionline and map those doors to your Cloudbeds dorm beds.

Access Additional Settings in the Cloudbeds PMS setup page:

1. Default Card Expiry Time: allows you to set when the card expires on the check-out date. It’s common practice to leave about an hour of extra time after the standard check-out time to allow for the guests to come in and out of accommodations during their departure.
2. Default Number of Keys per Accommodation: will determine how many keys are automatically selected on the Issue Key Card screen. Some property managers prefer to issue only one card for the door, others prefer to give as many cards as there are adults in the accommodation. Customize it to your best fit.

Property owner has to give the permission to Issue Key Cards to the needed user roles in the API Credentials and Integrations section.
