Block Access Exclusion Configuration

This functionality is available when the OPR<version number>ORS license code is active. Use the Block Access Exclusion - Configuration screen to exclude the block from a particular central reservation office (CRO). When a block access exclusion is configured for a business block, specific CROs will not be able to edit the block, i.e., add a new reservation or modify an existing reservation in the block; cancel a reservation in the block; or both.

To open the Block Access Exclusion - Configuration screen, select the Access Exclusion button on either the Business Block or the Quick Business Block screen.
