In plain words
Click Edit on the rule, change what you want in the rule builder, and click Save changes. A new name saves at once. If the rule is on, a window first shows the days the changed rule will affect: Apply price adjustments changes them from the next , Skip price adjustments leaves their prices as they are until the rule stops being true on a day and then becomes true again. If the rule is off, the change saves at once and moves no price until you switch it on.
Edit it
- 1
Open it in the builder
On the Rules tab, click Edit at the end of the rule's row. The rule builder opens under the list, headed "Edit "Busy nights"", filled with the rule as saved: name, conditions, direction and amount, the room types it measures and changes, and the undo box. The row stays highlighted while you edit.
- 2
Change what you want
Any field the builder has: a condition's threshold, speed or window, the amount, the room types, the undo box. A rule's date window, weekdays and priority are not in the builder, and are kept as saved. A condition saved as exactly a level below or above Normal, as some are, keeps its compare unless you pick another speed.

Save changes
Click Save changes. A new name alone saves at once. For a rule that is On, the window opens with the days the changed rule will affect. Choose Apply price adjustments or Skip price adjustments, or Cancel to keep editing (when no price would change, the window says "0 prices will be affected by this rule." and offers Save changes instead). For a rule that is Off, the change saves at once. If the rule's conditions, amount or room types were changed in another tab since you opened it, the save stops with "This rule changed in another tab. Reload it to edit." Click Reload, check the rule and save again.
Cancel editing, under the form, empties the builder without saving. Rules need Revenue Manager access or higher.
What Apply and Skip do after an edit
Apply price adjustments judges every change the rule has on the price against the edited rule from the next : a 's change moves to the new amount where the edited rule is true and comes off where it isn't, and a or pickup rule's earlier changes come off. Skip price adjustments leaves the days the window showed as they are until the rule stops being true there and then becomes true again; every other day works as with Apply. Changing the conditions, amount or room types also clears the rule's "Stop for this night" answers. Changing only the undo box leaves the rule's changes where they are; the new box applies to cancellations from the next run. Read A rule that is changed for every case.
Example: Moving 'Busy nights' from 80% to 90% at The Harbour Inn
"Busy nights" raises Standard 10%, from $150 to $165, on nights more than 80% full. Priya edits it to more than 90%. Friday is 17 of 20 booked (85%), Saturday 19 of 20 (95%). With Apply price adjustments, the window shows Friday among the affected days: on the next run Friday goes back to $150 and Saturday keeps $165. With Skip price adjustments, both stay at $165. Friday's raise then waits until Friday is over 90% full, and Saturday's comes off when Saturday drops to 90% or below.
Accept a Tune suggestion
When you click Get suggestions from my data on the Rules tab, a card headed "Tune "Busy nights"?" may propose moving an occupancy threshold, for example from 80% to 95%. Make that change is an edit of that one number: the rule keeps its name, its other settings and its place in the list. If the rule is on, the same window opens first, with Apply and Skip. Only occupancy thresholds are offered this way, and only when yours is more than 10 percentage points away from what your own history supports. A rule named "Filling-up raise" or "Nearly-full raise", as the built from your own bookings are, never gets one, since its threshold came from those bookings. Read Getting suggestions later.
Starting again instead
To replace a rule rather than change it, delete it (Delete Rule and Undo Its Changes undoes every price change it made) and add a new one, or switch it off and add the new one beside it. A new rule starts with its Fired count at a dash and an empty fire log, and none of the old rule's "Stop for this night" answers. Read Off, delete or change.
