Excluded Vendors

Configure one or more vendors as excluded to prevent them from appearing in the search results. You can set options to exclude all rentals from the selected vendor, or only rentals with certain options or in specific locations.

To add an excluded vendor, click the add excluded vendor link at the top right of the Excluded Vendors section on the Vendor Criteria screen. The Add Excluded Vendor screen appears.

To edit an excluded vendor, click the Edit button next to an existing excluded vendor on the Vendor Criteria screen. The Edit Excluded Vendor screen appears and is nearly identical to the Add screen.

Whether to use Excluded Vendors or Display-Only Vendors depends on how many vendor settings that you need to create. If there are only a few vendors to hide, Excluded Vendors is the better option. If there are only a few vendors to show, Display-Only Vendors is the better option.
