ORMS Configuration Alerts and Rules

Note: This topic applies to ORMS ADF11.

Access the Alert Configuration and Auto Apply Rules Dashboard by selecting Configuration>Alerts and Rules. This dashboard lets you configure alerts and rules for notification when hurdles are above or below specified numbers, forecast numbers are above or below specified thresholds, on the books percentages are above or below thresholds, or overbooking numbers have reached certain percentages. Alerts can also be applied to specific seasons and events. To help identify alerts and rules, you can apply colors to each. When the system generates hurdles, forecast figures, and oversell numbers that meet the configured alert conditions, alerts can be displayed on the Home Dashboard, Forecast Analysis Dashboard, and Blocks Dashboard.

Note: Whenever an existing Alert or Alert Rule is modified or deleted from the Alerts and Rules Dashboard, all of the Alerts that were triggered in the past by the modified or deleted Alert's conditions will be removed from the database. And, the next time the ORMS Optimizer runs, all of the currently configured and updated Alerts and Rules on this Dashboard will be considered for the generation of new Alerts.

Prerequisites

Permissions

Users must be granted the following permissions to perform the following tasks:

Alert Configuration and Auto Apply Rules Dashboard

The Alert Configuration and Auto Apply Rules Dashboard has the following sections for creating and applying alerts and rules:

orms_adf11_config_alerts_and_rules

Enable Application of Hurdles

Selecting this check box and clicking the Apply button enables Hurdles to be applied to the OPERA availability. Leaving this box unchecked means that no hurdles will be applied in OPERA at all. By default, the Enable Application of Hurdlescheck box is not selected, but selecting this function will automatically activate all ORMS hurdles in OPERA, even if some already exist.

When another RMS system exists in OPERA along with ORMS, this check box will not be selected by default and is disabled. To enable this functionality, you must switch off the other RMS system. Then, select the Enable Application of Hurdles check box and the Apply button to activate all hurdles in OPERA using ORMS.

Note: When this check box is selected, you have the opportunity to modify and approve/apply changes to OPERA for hurdle specifications from the Home Dashboard.

Enable Application of Overbooking

Available when the Rooms Management>Overbooking application function is set to Y in PMS for the Property, selecting this check box and clicking the Apply button enables Overbookings to be applied to the OPERA availability. Leaving this box unchecked means that no overbookings will be applied in OPERA at all. By default, the Enable Application of Overbookings check box is not selected but selecting this function will automatically activate all ORMS overbookings in OPERA, even if some already exist.

When another RMS system exists in OPERA along with ORMS, this check box will not be selected by default and is disabled. To enable this functionality, you must switch off the other RMS system. Then, select the Enable Application of Overbookings check box and the Apply button to activate all overbookings in OPERA using ORMS.

Note: When this check box is selected, you have the opportunity to modify and approve/apply changes to OPERA for overbooking specifications from the Home Dashboard.

The default value is Not Selected, which keeps the previous setting without changing it. If you want to change it, you must select a different yield category.If no value is selected, an error message will be displayed in red stating "Yield Category is mandatory" once the Save button is selected.

Alert Color. Select the down-arrow to display the color palette where you can choose from the listed colors or create a custom color to represent the alert. The text and numeric code in the field automatically displays when a color is selected, representing the color in HTML format. The alert color that appears on the dashboard calendar is the color selected here. When more than one alert is present for the day, the color of the alert on the calendar is based on the priority configured in the Display Seq. (see below).

Display Seq. For this alert, enter the order (priority) you would like this alert to appear on the designated dashboard calendar (see below) when there is more than one alert. If no sequence is selected, the listing of the alerts will be random on the dashboard calendar.

Note: If various alerts are triggered for the same day, the system will present the following hierarchy for each of the dashboards:
- Home Dashboard: 1) Hurdle Alert, 2) Overbooking Alert, 3) Forecast Alert.
- Forecast Analysis Dashboard: 1) Forecast Alert, 2) Overbooking Alert, 3) Hurdle Alert.
- Blocks Dashboard: 1) Forecast Alert, 2) Hurdle Alert, 3) Overbooking Alert.


Within each of the Alert Groups, the system will follow the configured Display Sequence.

Display on Home, Forecast, Block. Select the check box for the dashboard calendar where you want this alert to appear. If a check box is not selected, the alert will not appear on that dashboard calendar.

Auto Apply. Select to have the hurdle automatically approved and activated in OPERA. Or, unselect the check box so the hurdle will have to be manually reviewed and approved before it is applied. The approval and activation can also be done on the Home Dashboard. Leaving this check box unselected will override the general setting of Enable Application of Hurdles on the main screen.

Note: If the Auto Apply hurdle check box is not selected and ORMS generates a hurdle that is either below the value defined in the ‘Hurdle Below’ field or else above the value defined in the 'Hurdle Above' field, ORMS will update the OPERA hurdle with the defined value in those fields.

For example:

An alert is configured for NORMAL season and Yield Category STANDARD with the 'Hurdle Above' value = 150.00. The Auto Apply hurdle check box is not flagged.

- If ORMS calculates a hurdle amount for any day in NORMAL season, for Yield Category STANDARD that is above 150.00, the hurdle applied to OPERA will be 150.00 for all Room Types that belong to he STANDARD Yield Category.

- The hurdle with the amount above 150.00 will appear in the Recommendation screen as not approved and the user can decide whether to override it or approve it as-is.

Note: When configuring a new Hurdle Alert or editing an Hurdle Alert that is used as a Rule Alert (Auto Apply Check is not selected), if a value is not selected for the Yield Category field, then an error message will be displayed in red stating "Yield Category is mandatory" once the Save button is selected.

Days of Week. Select the check boxes for the days of the week (Sunday through Saturday) when you want alerts applied. By default, all days of the week check boxes are selected - deselect the days you do not want alerts applied. If desired, use the Reverse button (see below).

Add, Edit, or Copy New On the Books & Forecast Alerts Screen

This screen is accessed when the New, Edit, or Copy New buttons are selected from the On the Books & Forecast Alerts Grid. You can create alerts that are only On the Books (OTB) or only Forecast alerts, or a logical combination of both, using this screen. An example of a combination of OTB and Forecast alerts, is if you have 60 days remaining in your timeframe and you want to view the Forecast 95% above your threshold and the OTB below 25% until one day before the arrival date, you would enter criteria that would create an alert if these conditions were met. When adding or editing these alerts, if the system finds that your thresholds are not logical when you select Save, you will receive an error message.
