Adding options like 50A to New Reservation

Top  Previous  Next

Q: In the demo database there's a checkbox for "50A" on the New Reservation window.  How can I add that to mine, as well as other options?

 

A: Up to 5 checkboxes like this can be added to New Reservation dialog, which are associated with the Preferences as well as the Site Attributes.  For instance, the 50A checkbox in the demo not only tells it to allow only sites that have 50A (according to the Attributes defined in Sites Setup), it also flags the 50A Preference in the Reservation as a "Must Have".  This allows auto-rates to calculate any additional cost for that option, according to your Rates setup.

 

To add those checkbox options, go to Maintenance / Program Options / Reservations.  You'll see 5 drop-down lists for Quick-select preferences.  You can select the desired Reservation preference field in each of the 5 lists, and they will be shown as options on New Reservation.  

 

Note that you can only select fields here that are yes/no or must-have/must-not-have preference fields, which are also known as "Attribute" or "Attrib_" fields.  These are configured in Data Field Definitions, so if you don't see one you want to use then you can enable it through Maintenance / Data Field Definitions / Reservation Fields.  You can also rename attribute fields -- for instance if you need one for "trash service", then you could rename one that you don't use, like "20A".  Also note that you may want to enable or create matching fields under the Site Fields (being careful to use the field with a matching "Attrib_" Field ID).  This will allow you to specify which sites have the option available.
