To organize and deliver a data import of reservation can take up to 10 working days. This includes reviewing your data, doing a test import to your training site with a sample of the data, checking with you that it is as you expect, then completing a full import of the data to your live system.
Tips on Using the Data Import Sheet
- The main tab for reservations is called data
- Hover over column headers with red corners to see useful comments. These will explain whether the field is required or optional and/or requires the data to be entered in a particular format
- Some of the columns use data validation to ensure the provided details are entered in the correct format, e.g. email addresses are provided in the email column
- Observe the additional tabs in the sheet at the bottom of the page. These will give some guidance on the available values for some of the columns, e.g. Gender tab. Some of the tabs can be used as a mapping table to help you, e.g. Area – Type – Property IDs tab
- Please list all booking sources you are using in the Booking Sources tab so we can make sure to add these to the system before the import.
- When sending the completed file to us please confirm the VAT rate and currency to be used for the import
- Contact onboarding@elinapms.com if you have any questions on the required data and format
- You can use this to import past and future bookings. You will need future bookings to have an accurate calendar, and past bookings for good reporting.
