How to quickly select dates for short-term stays

Here's a quick tip that can speed up entering some multiple-day reservations.

1. Instead of double-clicking on the Rack, just click the telephone icon for a New Reservation.

2. Locate the site you want to use, and make sure the dates you want are visible in the grid.

3. Now click-and-hold the mouse button on the beginning of the new reservation (in that site's open cell under the start date), drag the mouse over to highlight all of the nights needed, and then release the mouse button.  The open cells on that site for the dates needed should be highlighted (usually in dark blue).

4. Click the Add Selection(s) button.

There, you've replaced multiple clicks with one click-drag and one click!

Bonus: If it's a group reservation and the sites are all together, you can drag down to highlight multiple sites at the same time you're dragging across to highlight multiple dates, and all of the highlighted sites will be added as synchronized reservations!

Double Bonus: You can continue to add multiple sites the same way, only you don't need to select the exact dates -- just drag straight down to select multiple sites for a single date, and the previous date range will be assumed when you click Add Selection(s).

Triple Bonus: Ctrl-click and Ctrl-click-drag also works to highlight multiple sites that aren't all together.  The only restriction is that they all have the same dates selected, or only one date selected (in which case it uses the same dates you previously selected).
