Create Custom Views for In-Context Pricing Charts
Your In-Context pricing chart located in the settings or calendar of individual listings is a powerful, visual display of your pricing settings. This chart already comes with 7 “out-of-the-box” views that surface specific settings as a “series”, including Detailed or Basic views, Pricing Engine, Last Year’s Pricing, Sets views when a listing is assigned to a Dynamic Set, and a Market view.
Today, we’ve introduced the ability to create custom In-Context views and select the series of settings you would like displayed. This allows you to see the data you care about most without needing to select each series every time you log in.
For example, you can now quickly create a custom view for any Dynamic Set + a Market. Here I have a Dynamic Set of competitive listings and the Destin market to show the 25th - 75th percentile prices.
Edit Views
You also have the ability to edit any views from the dropdown to adjust the series you’d like displayed.
Set Default Views
In addition, you can now set your preferred default view and hide any views that are not applicable to that listing so you can move way faster between charts and calendars.
For example, if the listing is not assigned to any Dynamic Set, you can easily hide the Set views. And for any custom views created, you can easily set as your default to move way faster between calendars.
We hope this continued investment in customizing your pricing views further empowers you to get quick clarity and make adjustments to optimize your pricing strategy.
You now have the ability to add a Gap Night Buffer to your Minimum Stay rules to increase flexibility and your chances of booking gap nights.
Enabling a Gap Night Buffer will identify nights on your calendar that are blocked due to minimum stay restrictions and open those nights up based on the rules you set.
When gaps occur, you now can automatically update your Min Stay rules, relative to the available gap. Example: 5 night gap - 2 night buffer = 3 night min stay for the impacted nights. We will never create Min Stay rules lower than your smallest allowed gap.
For example, let’s say your typical minimum stay is 7 night. If there’s a 5 night gap, you’re willing to accept it. If you add a Gap Night Buffer, you could make that gap more desirable by adding a 2 day gap night buffer and therefore, making the minimum stay rule for the gap as 3 nights.
Quickly bulk edit Gap Night Buffers in the Minimum Stay rules when multiple listing are selecting within your Pricing Portfolio or at the individual listing level.
We hope this addition provides more flexibility so you are able to offer gaps to more customers and fill nights easier.
Dynamic Sets are now shareable amongst your teammates in Wheelhouse, making it easy to explore, create and measure set metrics as a team.
After a Dynamic Set is created, easily share the Set with a teammate (that you’ve added to in Teams) by:
- Heading to your Sets Dashboard or Metricssection of a Set
- Clicking the three dots (next to Edit) of a Set and then “Share”
- Selecting the teammate(s) you want to share the Set with.
When a teammate shares a Set with you, the Dynamic Set will be listed in your Sets Dashboard with the “shared” icon. Hover over to see who shared the Set with you.
*Currently, only the owner of the Set can share with teammates, regardless of role assigned.
As Dynamic Sets support several business goals like:
- Finding owners and properties to acquire
- Optimized owner reporting and retention
- Up-leveling your merchandising strategy
- Easily benchmarking performance
…more teams are involved and we hope this helps provide visibility into the unique insights of each Dynamic Set!
For 18 months, we’ve been researching & testing a significant pricing engine upgrade in order to create
listing-specific seasonality curves
. We wrote more about this new research here.Today, your (data-driven) listings are receiving much more improved
Seasonality Recommendations in order to refine your pricing recommendations.
To better clarify:
If you
are
leveraging Data-Driven Seasonality…- You will see more refined recommendations moving forward
If you
are not
leveraging Data-Driven Seasonality- Nothing will change!
We’re committed to continuously improving our all aspects of our pricing engine and look forward to bringing you more awesome updates!

Performance
Budget Tracking from Your Performance Page
Easily configure budgets for each listing directly from your Performance page by clicking “
Configure Budget
” in the top right. Select one or multiple listings to add a total budget which will default into automatic monthly budget calculations or even apply specific monthly budgets for high or low seasons. Quickly filter by inventory type like bedroom count or market to apply a budget to all the listings that fit your criteria. Then go in a fine tune by individual listing as needed.
Once your budget is configured, you now can visualize how you’re pacing to budget in your Sales Analysis chart on your Performance page.
While configuring budgets is just a start, we’re excited to bring you more financial insights moving forward.

Teams
Easier Way to Automatically Assign a Teams Role
We’ve introduced the ability to auto-assign a role (Manager, Editor, or Viewer) for your team members.
This update will make it much easier for you to manage listing access for teammates and ensure that new listings are immediately accessible to the right teammates. By setting up a teammate with Auto Assignment, this teammate will be assigned the specified role to
all of your new and existing listings in your portfolio
.Head to Teams under your profile name to start auto-assigning roles (Manager, Editor or Viewer) to your teammates.
Removing Auto Assignments:
To remove an assigned role on all existing listings for a user, select “No Auto Assignment” from the dropdown.
You are still able to update listing access for users on an individual listing basis. For example, a teammate can be auto-assigned the “Editor” role, but later adjust their access on a particular listing to “Manager” or “Viewer”, at the listing level.
For specifics on the permissions and capabilities associated with each role, please review the help center article here.
In the future, we expect to further refine your capability to more precisely manage listing access on a market/segment/filtered basis.
