You can pick one of your calendars to be your master calendar, and then set your other calendars to be driven from that master calendar iCal feed. This way you only need to make changes to your master calendar, and all of the other calendars using that master iCal feed will automatically remain in sync. iCal is supported by all the major vendors; HomeAway, VRBO, FlipKey, AirBnB, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VRonTrack can be used both as a master calendar, and a calendar driven from another master calendar. When used as a master calendar, the reservations you enter into VRonTrack will show on your VRonTrack calendar (which you can embed into other web sites as well) and come out as your iCal source to drive any other calendars you might have like HomeAway, VRBO, FlipKey, AirBnB, Google, or Apple for your smart phone. When driven by some other iCal feed, VRonTrack will show those reservations on your VRonTrack calendar, and the reservation data you enter will act as ancillary data to those reservation dates. Setting your iCal options is done on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-owner-settings\/\">Owners Settings page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/calendar.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/calendar.png 500w, https:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/calendar-300x140.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Arrive dates are highlighted on the calendar.

This calendar does not show owner information such as reservation names. See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-embedding-controls\/\">Embedding controls into your website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many rental calendar programs on the Internet work with booked nights rather that arrive and depart dates. This means that they do not include the last depart day in the calendar information. This is the format that VRonTrack normally expects, and outputs as your iCal source. If you are using a calendar as your master calendar that does output the depart day, you can set &#8220;Show end date available&#8221; in your owner settings to make VRonTrack not show that end date as booked and unavailable. This will allow you to have same day turn-overs. If you want VRonTrack to output the depart day in your iCal source, you can use the alternate iCal source URL that has the word &#8216;days&#8217; in it like<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">http:\/\/VRonTrack.com\/icaldays.php?id=1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-login-logout\/\">Log in \/ Log out<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-setup\/\">Set up<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-calendar\/\">Calendar<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-rate-quote\/\">Rate Quote<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-tracker\/\">To-Do Trackers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-manage-trackers\/\">Manage Trackers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-manage-email\/\">Manage Email Templates<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-rate-settings\/\">Manage Rate Settings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-owner-settings\/\">Manage Owner Settings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help-embedding-controls\/\">Embedding Widgets<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrontrack.com\/ontrack\/help\/\">Main Help<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calendar programs on the Internet talk to one another using a standard called iCal.
