Owners Tab

General

Allow Owner Reservations

When checked, the IRM allows owner reservations to be made.  This only pertains to those customers with owners of individual units: timeshare and whole ownership condominiums. When not checked, the Make Reservation option is hidden from the Owner menu.

Booking Guest of Owner Reservations Not Allowed

When checked, the option for the owner to make guest of owner reservations is not available from the IRM.Net owner portal. When the owner logs in to their account, the Guest of Owner link is hidden on the Reservations tab. This prevents owners from booking paying guest reservations as guest of owner reservations.

Use Owner Rotation on Room List (Switch 423-11)

When checked, rooms are rotated for owner and guest of owner reservations and works like the RDP-DOS Switch 423-11.

Use IRM.Net for Owner Screens

When checked, the IRM goes to IRM.Net when the owner access type is selected on the IRM.

Allow OLD Owners Access to IRM.Net Screens

When checked, owners with type ‘OLD’ can log into IRM.Net, but only see limited information.  Old owners are allowed to send management an e-mail, owner detail, reservation listings (which only display owner and guest of owner reservations), and statements.  When not checked, (default setting), a message displays "Access Denied – Owner Type = 'OLD'" on the Owner Logon screen.

Allow Owner Payments

When checked, owners are allowed to make credit card payments to their owner master online through IRM.Net.  The property must have Protobase in order to use this feature.

Charge Credit Card Service Fee

The IRM.Net has the ability to charge owners a credit card service fee for all owner credit card payments taken over the IRM.Net if the Allowed Owner Payments is checked. Once the box is checked, the amount field is activated and the percent or flat amount can be entered. Select the Percent or Flat Fee radio button. The owner makes a payment from their owner account and a message informing them that an additional fee will be added to the payment for the configured amount. This fee will generate a B7SD transaction on the owner account.

Allow Owner and Guest of Owner Reservations w/o E-mail Address

When checked, reservations can be made without using an e-mail address.  When no e-mail address exists, no confirmation is sent via e-mail.  The confirmation should be printed and mailed.  When not checked, an e-mail address is required.

When checked and an owner reservation is accessed through the IRM.Net to change the e-mail address, the owner e-mail address can be added when the field is blank at the time of access. 

When checked and an guest of owner reservation is accessed through the IRM.Net, the e-mail address field is displayed from the reservation record and change is allowed.

Allow Change of Owner and Guest of Owner Reservations

When checked, owner and guest of owner reservations can be changed using the IRM.Net.  Log into the IRM.Net as the Owner and select View All from the Reservations tab.  The reservations for the owner are displayed, and the Change Reservation button is available.

When checked, the Send Mgmt. an E-mail link is hidden from the Owner menu.

Show Owner Documents

When checked, a tab displays on the IRM.Net Owner page for Documents. Owners can be view documents specific to their owner account such as invoices or letters.

For example, to the display documents for owner 101, they must be placed in C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<Data Sever>\RDP<xx>\UserText\OwnerDocuments\101 folder.

 

The following file types are supported: .doc, .htm, .pdf, .jpg. Choose the document and click the Display button. The document will open in a new tab or window, depending on the browser configuration.

Check Additional Owner Home Tab Files

Check this box to enabled a customizable message can display for each owner when logging in to their owner account on the IRM.Net Owner Portal. A unique screen can be created for each owner number. A file can be created for the week number owned, property code, or unit type. The IRM.Net will look first for the file for the owner number. If that doesn't exist, it will look for the file for the week number, followed by the property code, and then unit type. If none of those files exist, the default welcome screen will display.

 

Note: This feature requires the Timeshare & Interval Ownership (R6) Module be installed.

 

The IRM.Net will display the first one of these files found in this order:

• C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<RDPServer>\RDP<xx>\UserText\Owners\<OwnerNumber>Home.htm
• C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<RDPServer>\RDP<xx>\UserText\Owners\Weeks\<WeekNumberOwned>.htm (if more than one week is owned, all owner week numberfiles that exist are shown)
• C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<RDPServer>\RDP<xx>\UserText\Owners\Property\<PropertyCode of Room Number Owned>.htm
• C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<RDPServer>\RDP<xx>\UserText\Owners\RoomType\<RoomType of Room Owned>.htm
• C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\IRMNet\Custom\<RDPServer>\RDP<xx>\UserText\Owners\default.htm

Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List

When checked, the guest name is displayed on the Res Listings page.

Hide Guest Name on All Reservations

Names on different types of reservation can be displayed or disabled based on the setting of this checkbox and the "Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List":

1. To show only reservation details and no names at all, regardless of reservation type, check "Hide Guest Name on all Reservations".  This disables the "Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List" checkbox.  No names are displayed on any reservation types.
   
2. To show owner, guest of owner, and paying guest names, check "Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List" and do not check "Hide Guest Name on all Reservations".  The sample below shows the grid with these settings.  Names are displayed for all reservation types with the exception of maintenance reservations.
