Configuration Tab Events

The Events Configuration Tab allows for the creation of events that may be occurring that would affect the transient demand for a property and when the events are happening. These are called RMS events, those events that have an impact on the transient demand for that time period.

Any event that has been configured in OPERA will be displayed in this Events Configuration Tab. As new events are added throughout OPERA, then they will also be displayed here. By default, however, all events that are created in OPERA are non-RMS events. Therefore, at this screen review all the events that have been added in OPERA to identify and define which of these are RMS events. When the ORMS license code is active, it is recommended that you create new events here in the Events Configuration Tab so you can immediately set the event as an RMS Event, if required.

Note: It is recommended to assign RMS for the last (maximum) 2 and the following 1 years in order to get a more accurate Forecast.

• Any dates that are displayed in the calendar with a dark shade indicates that an RMS Event is selected in the Event Grid on the left side and occurs on that day. When moving the mouse over the date, a pop up hint is displayed showing the name of the event occurring on that date.

• Any dates that are displayed in the calendar with a gray shade indicates that a non- RMS Event is selected in the Event Grid on the left side and occurs on that day. When moving the mouse over the date, a pop up hint is displayed showing the name of the event occurring on that date.
