Room History

The Rooms Management>Room History function enables the user to display the history of activity for a room. You can use this option to determine when Mr. Smith stayed in room 512, to locate the owner of a lost article and to find out which guest was probably responsible for the ruined carpet of room 415.

After you have selected this option, the date one month prior to the OPERA date appears in the prompt as the default date. This date is the date from which you would like to view the room activity until now. You can change this date if you would like to view an earlier or a later period. When you have entered the date, the system prompts for the room number. Enter the room number for which you would like to see the activity. If no such room number exists in the hotel, or if no activity information has been recorded for the room, OPERA displays the message “Not found.” If you do not enter a room number, the system returns to the Rooms Management menu. When you have completed the prompts, the following display appears:

Note: The display in the Room History option is for information only. You cannot change any of the data shown here, only look at the information. The Room History of a guest's stay only becomes available after the End of Day Process of the day the guest has checked out.

Note: For security reasons, if a credit card is swiped with the cursor in this field, the information associated with the credit card is initially displayed as a series of asterisks. This is also true if you manually type a credit card number beginning with a % sign (e.g., %9238...). The asterisks will resolve to the masked credit card number or to the actual credit card number if the user has been granted the Reservation>Credit Card Information View permission.
