Default Setting: OFF - Accept Expired Reservations
This gives you the ability to run a risk analysis on an old/expired reservation. When toggled ON, Autohost will analyze past guests who have already checked out.
Default Setting: OFF*
*This is turned OFF by default to ensure that Autohost does not bill you for risk analysis completed on past reservations. - Disable Risk Analysis on Inquiries
This gives you the ability to skip risk analysis on reservation inquiries so that you can focus only on confirmed reservations.
Default Setting: ON
