Finding the right restrictions just got a lot faster!
You can now filter restrictions by individual rate plan directly from the Strategic Restrictions page. The selector shows buckets as top-level groupings with their rate plans nested beneath, making it easy to drill down to exactly what you need.
💡 What's New
  • Filter by rate plan
    - select one or more rate plans to instantly see all restrictions that apply to them, whether set at the bucket level or directly on the rate plan.
  • Multi-select with OR logic
    - select multiple rate plans and results will include restrictions applicable to any of them.

Editing restrictions just got smoother!
You can now you switch between Bucket and Rate Plan levels while editing an existing restriction! The selector is now pre-filled based on your previous selection, so you're not starting from scratch.
💡 What's New
  • Bucket → Rate Plan - switching to rate plan level will automatically select all rate plans within the bucket(s) you had chosen.
  • Rate Plan → Bucket - switching to bucket level will automatically select all buckets that contain the rate plan(s) you had chosen.
Helpful footer messages let you know when switching levels will remove existing restrictions on the previously selected items, no surprises.

We are thrilled to introduce Custom Rate Bucketing, designed to make your restriction management more seamless and intuitive than ever.
Custom Bucketing gives your team an efficient, streamlined way to manually manage restrictions, while letting our recommendation engine continue to optimize individual rate plans for maximum yield. Enjoy clear, at-a-glance visibility into your property's restriction status and a smarter way to yield your business!
😍 Why You'll Love This

  • Fully customizable:
    Create and arrange buckets according to your specific yielding workflows. Whether your strategy is driven by channel (like grouping all OTAs together), cancellation policy (Non-Refundable vs. Flexible), offer type (Packages vs. Discounts), you can build custom buckets that perfectly mirror how you think about your business
  • Instant clarity:
    The all-new, bucket-level overview in Optimization bucket-level overview provides a clean, top-down summary so you can instantly gauge how restricted any day is without digging into the details (unless you want to!). With your restrictions now in the Quick View, side-by-side with your performance charts and market data, you can evaluate and apply restrictions and restriction recommendations more confidently than ever!
  • Quick configuration
    : Use our one-click configuration to easily set up your custom bucket structure, then assign rate plans in bulk with drag and drop or copy and paste actions. Better yet, rate plan assignment can be seamlessly applied to any or all properties within your property group with a single action, scaling your successful strategies effortlessly
💡 What's New
  • Custom Rate Buckets:
    You now have the flexibility to group your rate codes into a custom bucket structure based on your unique yielding strategy
  • At-a-Glance Overview Tab:
    The Optimize calendar features an all-new bucket-level view that provides a visual breakdown of your bucket statuses across your property or inventories.
  • Expanded Quick View:
    We've removed the hidden right-click action to view restrictions. Now, simply open the updated Quick View to see your active restrictions, system recommendations, and performance charts all side-by-side

  • Inheritable Restrictions:
    Any new rate codes added to a bucket will automatically inherit that bucket's active restrictions
🔄 What's Changing
Simplified Configuration:
Segments and Buckets are now managed directly within the Rate Plans configuration screen
  • Bucket-level Classifications:
    You no longer need to assign restriction classifications (Yieldable, Base Rate Parity, or Non-Yieldable) to individual rate plans. This value is set once for each bucket and applies to all assigned rate plans
  • Seamless Setup:
    Property groups already enabled for restrictions have been automatically migrated to the new bucket structure. All other property groups now have access to an easy, one-click configuration process in Settings.

Finding and managing your columns just got a little easier!
We've made two small but handy improvements to the Display Options in Planning, so you can spend less time hunting and more time planning.
💡 What's New
  • Collapsible sections
    - columns are now grouped into organized categories (Units, ADR, Occupancy, and Revenue) that can be collapsed or expanded. Focus only on the metric categories relevant to your workflow and collapse the rest for a cleaner, less overwhelming overview.
  • Search bar
    - type any metric name to instantly filter the column list and find exactly what you're looking for. No more scrolling, spend less time configuring and more time on strategic planning.

We’re happy to share the final phase of our expanded revenue breakdown rollout.
Infor
and
Opera On-Prem via OXI
are now enabled for expanded analysis of:
  • Accommodation Revenue
  • Ancillary Revenue
  • Cancellation Revenue
These revenue types can now be analyzed by the same dimensions already available across other PMS integrations:
  • Inventory Name, Inventory Label, and Inventory Group
  • Rate Plan Name
  • Segment, Macro Segment, and PMS Segment
This brings Infor and Opera On-Prem fully into alignment with the rest of the PMS ecosystem supported in this project — enabling consistent revenue analysis across inventory, rate plans, and segmentation, regardless of PMS.
A Quick Reminder on Data Timing
This applies automatically to new and updated reservations. Historical data will continue to be resynced in the background to support full year-over-year and same-period analysis.
If you have any questions or would like help validating the new breakdowns, please reach out via the ? icon in the lower-left corner of the platform — our Advisory team is happy to help.
Finding the right dashboard or workbook just got easier.
We’ve released the first step in improving search within Insights, making it simpler to narrow results intentionally and get to exactly what you’re looking for, faster.
What’s included in this update
You can now refine your search using structured filters directly in the search bar, including:
  • Favorites
  • Folder location
  • Content type (e.g., workbook or dashboard)
  • Creator
This helps you quickly focus your results instead of scrolling through broader matches.
→ To see a step-by-step guide with examples and best practices, read our help desk article: How to Use Enhanced Search in Insights.
This enhancement is now live, and it’s just the first step in making search and discoverability even stronger across the product.
You can now
duplicate conditional formatting rules
on table visualizations in dashboards. Instead of manually recreating the same rule multiple times, copy an existing rule and simply update what it applies to.
All colors, thresholds, formatting styles, and total behavior carry over automatically — you just adjust the reference column.

As always, we’d love your feedback. If you have questions, click the ? in the lower-left corner to reach the Advisory team.
We've heard your feedback! Many of you requested better visibility into all your KPIs when forecasting and budgeting. We've enhanced the Planning view with a comprehensive totals footer that displays all your metrics in one convenient location.
💡What's New
  • Available when you need it
    - the totals footer now appears whenever you are working with planning figures, across all screens and all granularities.
  • Complete metric coverage
    - the footer now displays totals for all visible metrics, not just planned numbers. See totals for LY, Budget, AI forecast, OTB, STLY, and any other metrics you are tracking, all in one place.
  • Consistent experience
    - whether you are forecasting at the monthly level or working in more granular views, your complete totals are always visible at the bottom of your columns.
😍 Why You'll Love This
This update streamlines your forecasting and budgeting workflow by:
  • Complete context
    - while key metrics remain in the header, you now have totals for all your selected KPIs in the footer, no need to piece together data from multiple locations.
  • Better decision-making
    - with full visibility into all metric totals, you can make more informed planning decisions.
  • Work more efficiently
    - spend less time hunting for data and more time on strategic planning.

You can now use the
AI Assistant
directly on your dashboards!
Many of you have asked for a way to stay in the flow while reviewing dashboards, ask follow-up questions, and explore what’s driving changes without switching to workbooks or a separate AI experience. Bringing AI Assistant onto dashboards is a direct response to that feedback.
The assistant uses the full dashboard as context, working across all tiles together. When a dashboard is well curated around a specific type of analysis, the AI helps you focus on what matters and go deeper without losing context.
You’ll still use the
AI Query Helper
to build analysis from scratch and the standalone
AI Assistant
for open exploration. The Dashboard Assistant adds another way to work with AI, grounded in the dashboards you already rely on.
How It Works
Open any dashboard and click the
Dashboard AI Assistant
icon in the bottom-right corner to start chatting.
The AI Assistant is turned
off by default on existing customer dashboards
.
To enable it on a dashboard:
  1. Go to
    File > Document Settings
    .
  2. Toggle
    AI on Dashboard
    to ON.
Once enabled, the AI Assistant icon will appear in the bottom-right corner of the dashboard.
Note:
All dashboard templates already have this enabled by default, so any new dashboards created from templates will automatically include the AI Assistant.
If enabled, you can:
  • Ask questions that build on the full dashboard
  • Connect insights across multiple tiles
  • Request explanations or summaries
  • Extend the analysis when your questions go beyond what’s already on the dashboard
You’re not limited to the tiles on the screen, but dashboards designed with a clear analytical purpose create the best experience.
Upload Documents for Additional Context
Just like in the standalone AI Assistant, the **Dashboard Assistant supports uploading documents**.
This means you can combine:
  • The curated analysis in your dashboard
  • All available data within Insights
  • Additional context from uploaded files
This can be especially helpful when you want to enrich dashboard analysis with information that lives outside of Insights, such as:
  • Other departmental performance data
  • Marketing activity or promotion calendars
  • Strategy docs
The assistant can use this uploaded information alongside your dashboard to help answer questions and provide more complete, contextual insights.
A Few Things to Know
  • The Dashboard Assistant can’t edit dashboards. To change tiles, layouts, or filters, open the dashboard in draft mode and edit as usual.
  • The assistant doesn’t change dashboard filters. If you want to analyze a specific property or subset, update the dashboard filters first.
  • Well-curated dashboards work best. This doesn’t mean more tiles; it means a clear focus that the AI can build on.
  • Currently, only Creators may access the AI Assistant on dashboards
We’re excited to see how you use the Dashboard Assistant and how it fits into your day-to-day workflows. As always, your feedback helps shape what we build next, so keep it coming via chat.

A couple months ago, we announced expanded analysis for
Accommodation Revenue, Ancillary Revenue,
and
Cancellation Revenue
— allowing these revenue types to be broken down by I
nventory, Rate Plan,
and
Segment
hierarchies in the same way as
Overnight and Day Use revenue
.
We’re happy to share an update on that release.
What’s New
This expanded revenue breakdown is now enabled for the following additional PMS integrations that were part of this project:
  • RMS
  • Shiji
  • Protel
  • StayNTouch
  • Clock
  • Cloudbeds
If your property uses any of the PMSs above, you can now analyze
Accommodation, Ancillary,
and
Cancellation Revenue
by:
  • Inventory Name, Inventory Label, and Inventory Group
  • Rate Plan Name
  • Segment, Macro Segment, and PMS Segment
This brings these PMSs into alignment with the PMSs included in the initial release (Opera Cloud via OHIP, Mews, and Apaleo).
A Quick Reminder on Data Timing
As with the original rollout, this applies automatically to new and updated reservations. Historical data continues to be resynced in the background to support full year-over-year and same-period analysis.
This update extends the expanded revenue breakdown across all PMS integrations planned for this project, making it easier to analyze total revenue consistently across inventory, rate plans, and segmentation.
If you have any questions or want help exploring the new breakdowns, please reach out via the ? icon in the lower-left corner of the platform — our Advisory team is always happy to help.
