Learn how to set content rules in your TripBuilder system

The Content Rule feature enables the delimitation of content by creating an individual rule set to determine the content of the accommodation or the transportation.

Steps to set Content Rules:

Go to Settings
Click on Content Rule
Click on Create New Rule for your preferred product type
- Accommodation
- Transportation

Create content rules for accommodation:

Click on Create New Rule next to accommodation
- Add a Rule Name
- Select a Distribution Channel: All or defined
- Select a Use Case: All, Instantiation, Planning
- Select the User Type: All, Agent, or Consumer (user permission)
- Select a Supplier: Inventory or BedBanks
- Define a Rule Definition:

Rule Definition	Type	Description
Hotel Filter	By Hotel	Enter hotel name Type: Excluded or Included
Area Filter	By City	Enter city name Type: Excluded or Included Please Note: Only for inventory accommodation
Supplier Filter	By Supplier	Select Inventory or Bed Banks Type: Excluded or Included
User Rating Range	By Customer Rating	Enter Min / Max Rating (number) Select: Include properties without rating Please Note: Only for inventory accommodation
Country Filter	By Country	Enter country name Type: Excluded or Included Please Note: Only for inventory accommodation
Hotel Stars	By Start Rating	Enter Min / Max Rating (number)
Cancellation Filter	Filter out hotels based on whether they have no free cancellation and/or whether they do not provide any cancellation information.	Exclusion Rules No Free Cancellation No Cancellation Info Important remark: The filter is not a guarantee that it will only show hotels with a free cancellation option, as this relies on the information provided by the supplier. At the same time, filtering out “free cancellation hotels” doesn’t mean that the free cancellation option will be available indefinitely. Some hotels offer the option of free cancellation until a certain number of days before the check-in.

With the ➕ option, you are able to combine definitions with the and function.

Examples

1. Allow only a specific star rating on a particular location for BedBanks

Select the Hotel Stars with min 3 and a max 5-star rating.

Please Note for Accommodation:

If it is a hotel from an external source we only support the filters for Stars, specific accommodation (by id), and supplier.
For Nezasa inventory we also support the area, country, and user rating filter.
