Affiliates - Property sort order and checkout notes field

If you're setting up an affiliate or want to freshen up an existing one here are two things to know:

  1. Affiliates can have their own curated list of properties. So if the client (remember, affiliates live under the client) has 75 properties, but the affiliates event is centralized to a specific area or cliental, they can choose to show just the 15 or 20 that are relevant. Additionally, affiliates can set a unique sort order for their properties to appear in. This means the official host hotel, or a sponsor hotel can be at the top of the list when otherwise it may not be that high.
  2. Rename the special request field at checkout -- As more and more teams are joining as affiliates we've heard the need to include things like team name so groups are booked together and communication is made easier based on who as reserved their rooms. Starting today you can override the "Special Requests" field name found on checkout with whatever makes sense for you, like "Team Name" or "Group Name".
