Zip Codes
 
A new zip code database has been released.  What this means is that you will have less zip codes that Lodgical does not fill in the city and state automatically.  You can download the latest database by going to File, Update Software and clicking on Zip Code Database
 
A new database comes out every month.  Please feel free to download the new database on the 5th of every month.
Greetings!

In this email, we wanted to inform you about some of the new features Lodgical has in the lastest update: LodgicalSolution.exe.
Business Logo
 
You now have the ability to add your business logo or picture to the main screen of Lodgical.  To do so, go to Utilities, Configuration, Load Property Picture.  You will be presented with a window like the following.

Load Property Picture

Your photo should be square.  If your photo is not square, Lodgical will stretch it to square and may distort your picture.  Once you have your photo/logo to the correct specifications, click Add Photo.  After browsing for your photo and clicking Open, you will be logged out of Lodgical.  This happens because the changes do not take effect until Lodgical restarts.

Main Screen Logo

Information Panel

Everyone knows that double clicking a name in the list of In, Arrivals, or Departures on the left of the main or chart screens will allow you to edit the reservation.  However, now, by single clicking on the names, you will be presented with a synopsis of the reservation that can be used as a quick reference.  To close this panel, simply click anywhere in the yellow portion.
 
Single-Click Information Synopsis
Select Units/Types
 
There has been a change in the way you can select specific units or types when viewing a report. 

Select Units Button

You will see this button in the report options window.  To select different units/types, click this button.

Select Category Window

Click to highlight a selection.  You will be presented with a window like the following.  Place a check mark in the boxes to the left of the units or types you wish to include in your report.  Click OK to confirm selection.

Select Types Window

If you would like to set up your own groups of units or unit types, you can do that too.  By either clicking the Configure menu option as shown in the previous pictures, or by going to Utilities, Configuration, General Information, and Units tab.  You can set up either unit groups or type groups.

Create Unit Groups

You can configure up to four of each unit groups or type groups.  Click to highlight the group number, then change the group name, and place a check next to the units or types you wish to include.  Click Save to confirm changes.
These updates are part of the new LodgicalSolution.exe.  If you do not have the most current version, please contact us to get it set up. 
Sincerely,
