Channel Tab
The Channel Tab provides the CRO the opportunity to set up channel management conversions for the appropriate properties. This functionality is available when the main license codes for GDS, OWS, or ADS are active within ORS. When a property is entered, or converted, it has full capabilities of channel management. This means that the property can sell its inventory through a channel such as GDS, web booking, or ADS.
To access the Channel Tab, select System Configuration>Property>Property Details and display the Property Selection screen. At the Property Selection screen, select the New button to create a new property. Or, if you want to make changes to an existing property (such as adding a channel), highlight a property on the list and select the Edit button. The Property Configuration - New or Edit screen appears. Select the Channel Tab.
Prior to setting up conversion for a property, certain channel items must already be established within ORS, as explained in the following topic:
Property. A unique identifier for the property. Enter a new code if you are creating a new property. Otherwise, when editing a property the field is read-only.

Chain Code. The alphanumeric identifier for the Chain, created during Chain Configuration.
