How to: Handle Updated or Deleted PMS Fields
Lynx now offers customizable property detail mapping for both Track and Streamline, with support for additional PMS platforms coming soon!
- In the "Property Details" section for each property, you can now sync fields directly from your PMS - Simply map the fields in Lynx to their counterparts in the PMS, and let the system handle the data sync automatically.
- Custom Fields update only once daily, so if an update is made, you should not expect to see an update in the custom/standard fields until the next day. This is normal process.
- Here you can find the main article Overview: Mapping PMS Custom Fields which outlines the entire custom PMS mapping process.
When you update a custom field in Lynx under the Property Details, there may be times when you want to go back and change this, or remove the custom mapping you previously updated. When a field is deleted, the system will treat it like it is unmapped and remove it, setting it back to default where you can change it again, or leave it unmapped.
How to unmap a custom Field:

If you want to retain information from Lynx without syncing it with data from the PMS, you will need to unmap that field.
Enter edit mode by clicking the "Edit" icon. |
| Step 2: | Select the mapped Lynx standard or custom field. |
| Step 3: | Click "Unmap" to remove the mapping. |
If you are wanting to see what is already mapped, make updates, or remove any mapping you've created, please follow below to see how to view the custom mapped fields to edit or change them.

Mapped PMS fields can be viewed in property details under the corresponding Lynx fields: |
| Standard Fields: |
Lynx Standard Fields: Fields available by default in Lynx. Mapped fields will display a link icon.
Unmapped fields can be edited manually by entering edit mode. |
|
Custom Field: |
Lynx Custom Fields: Fields created by users in Lynx.
Mapped fields will display a link icon, while unmapped fields can be manually edited.
Note: If data is manually entered and later mapped, the PMS values will overwrite the manual entries.

Mapping and syncing PMS fields with Lynx helps streamline property management processes, reducing manual data entry and enhancing operational efficiency. Following these steps ensures smooth integration and optimal use of both systems.
