Set Web Rates via API

The storage industry is currently in the middle of a supply crunch - meaning that available supply can't keep up with tenant demand. As a result, many operators are looking for ways to continue growing their bottom line when their facilities are at record-high occupancies. Revenue Management is one of the most effective tools in your toolkit to do exactly that.

To expand the range of revenue management opportunities possible through SiteLink, we’ve enabled the ability to update Web Rates via the SiteLink API. If you work with a 3rd party Revenue Management company, this allows them to set competitive and up-to-the-minute pricing on your website. Reach out to your Revenue Management provider if you’re interested in using Web Rates as part of your price optimization strategy.

More customizable user permissions

We are making user permissions more customizable so that you can better align user roles with your business needs. You can now choose whether each Security Level has permission to Add, Edit, or Delete Employees, Discount Plans, Forms, and CRM Campaign Schedules. For example, you may want the Site Manager Security Level to be able to add and edit employees but not delete them. 


If you would like to customize the new settings, navigate to Security Levels from either SiteLink Web Edition or Corporate Control Center.

 


Select the General Setup tab and the Security Level you would like to make adjustments to from the drop-down menu. Check the boxes for permissions that you would like included in that Security Level or uncheck those that you would like to remove. 

Please note: To maintain current behavior and program access, existing employees will retain their previous level of access to the Employees, Discount Plans, Form Setup, and CRM Schedule screens (full or none) until adjustments are made to the Security Levels to refine those permissions.


User level permissions

We fixed an issue that was causing User level employees to be able to make changes to higher security level roles (Administrator, Site Manager, etc).

We fixed an issue that was causing recurring charges that were set to 0 in Ledger Settings to be included on invoices.

Potential security risk

During our scheduled 3/23 update, we identified a potential security risk that was introduced as part of the update. The issue could have caused customer data to be exposed within the software unintentionally. Rest assured that this data would not have been visible to anyone other than authorized users of your software. As a result, we deployed a second update to resolve the issue.
