Every photograph in the organisation, filtered down the catalogue: property, then unit, then space. A file is uploaded once and lives in one place.
Spaces are grouped by their type, which is the same grouping the public site uses under Know the house.
One question. You never choose a scope — the subject decides it, and the panel beside this says what that means before you upload.
Bedroom with a queen bed facing a window onto the garden.
Written from the catalogue: the space, its beds and what it looks onto. It does not reach the public site until you approve it.
Google Vacation Rentals will not list this unit. It counts 7 photographs where the channel needs 10, and two files you uploaded do not count because they are below its resolution floor.
| Space | Belongs to | Counted | Rejected | State | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Unit | 4 | 1 | Enough | |
| Bathroom | Unit | 2 | 1 | Thin | |
| Reception | Property | 0 | 0 | None yet | |
| Breakfast room | Property | 3 | 0 | Not counted yet | |
| Attached directly | Unit | 1 | 0 | Cover set |
Including the three breakfast room photographs takes this unit to 10 and would publish today. They also appear on the three other units in this property, and the interface will say so on each of them.
| File | Space | Dimensions | Why it does not count |
|---|---|---|---|
| room-201-bed.jpg | Bedroom | 720 × 480 | Below the 1024 px shortest-edge floor on 2 channels |
| bath-detail.png | Bathroom | 1400 × 1400 | Square. Google Vacation Rentals wants 4:3 or wider |
Neither file is deleted. They stay in the library and still publish on your own website, which has no floor. They are only excluded from the channels that refuse them.
| Channel | Min | State |
|---|---|---|
| Google Vacation Rentals | 10 | 7 of 10 |
| Own website | 1 | Ready |
| Booking channel | 5 | Ready |
| Direct enquiry replies | 3 | Ready |
These are configured requirement sets, not rules the catalogue invents. When a channel changes its floor you edit the set here and every unit is re-evaluated against it.
Google Vacation Rentals will list this unit without alt text, and a screen reader will announce nothing. Four drafts are written and waiting on you.
Photographs attached to a unit instance — damage on 204, a leak in 103 — stay inside the operator tool. Instances are identical by definition, so an instance photograph would misrepresent the seven others.
A unit is the kind you sell. Before anything is created you answer one question — how many of them there are — because that is what decides how many physical instances exist.
Plain words. Bed sizes and square metres help, and you can add them later if you do not know them now.
This is the whole difference between a unit and a unit instance. Answer 1 and you never think about instances again. Answer more and each one gets an identifier a housekeeper can use.
Creates 1 unit, 3 unit instances, 3 spaces and 1 bed under Hotel Marquês. Sets no amount and joins no rate plan. Changes nothing already sold.
Your description, and the 5 units already on this property — Balcony Double is not a name any of them uses, so it is treated as new rather than a duplicate.
The unit exists and holds availability the moment it is created. It cannot be booked until it has an amount, and it cannot be listed on a channel until it clears that channel's photograph requirement.
