Action: OwnerRez - General Property Info
Module 6: OwnerRez - Setting up the Channel Manager
The General Info settings in OwnerRez define how each listing appears to guests and how it is organised internally. They include the public and private names, a short property code, contact details, calendar colour, time zone and maximum guests. Small as they look, they underpin every automation that follows, so a wrong time zone or guest limit can cause mistimed messages or booking errors.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between a public and private name in OwnerRez?
The public name is what guests see on listings and messages, while the internal name and property code help you and your team tell listings apart, especially when one house has several.
How should I write a holiday rental's public name?
Lead with your property's brand name, then the features guests search for most. A clear, consistent name helps guests recognise you across platforms.
Why set a maximum guest count for each listing?
It stops bookings coming through for more guests than the property can sleep, and keeps the limit consistent across connected channels.
