Track It Actions Setup

The Track It function is available when the General>Track It application function is set to Y.

Select Configuration>Setup>Track It>Actions to set up the actions that may be associated with Track It ticket records.

Track It actions identify what response is expected from staff or other parties relative to a Track It ticket. For Parcel or Baggage tickets, actions might be Store, Deliver to Room, Deliver to Conference, etc. For Lost types, actions might be Hold for Guest or Deliver to Room. For Valet tickets, actions might include Park, Retrieve, Refuel, Wash, etc. Actions are associated with a status that indicates whether some response is pending or expected of staff (an Open status), or whether no action is required or the ticket is resolved (a Closed status). Action statuses are used by OPERA to filter tickets  for display and query purposes.

You may configure an unlimited number of actions for each Track It group (i.e., Parcel, Baggage, Lost and Valet).

The Track It Actions Setup screen provides the following information:
