Siebel Hospitality Guide > Managing Hospitality Inventory > About Managing Functions at the Quote Stage > About Function DetailingCustomers often block a large, configurable function space in which multiple, smaller breakout sessions are held. When the space is initially blocked, the detailed agenda of the breakout sessions is typically not known, and the space is blocked with a high-level agenda consisting of large contiguous blocks of time. This process is known as a space hold. For more information about space holds, see About Space Holds. As the event date approaches, sales representatives or event managers detail the function by creating subagendas in smaller time increments for the breakout sessions (within the start and end dates of the original function), and assigning breakout sessions to portions of the larger function space that is already blocked. A user can book detailed subagendas into a space that is already held without double-booking the inventory by creating subfunctions for a function. A function that has associated subfunctions is known as a parent function. A user can also create subfunctions of a subfunction, known as child subfunctions. However, users cannot select a function space for a child subfunction. In the case of a space hold, the parent function is a space hold record. The subfunctions associated with the space hold record represent the functions for the space hold. These subfunctions must use space that is part of the space hold and take place within the time frame of the space hold. These subfunctions can also have another level of child subfunctions (grandchildren of the space hold) that represent the subfunctions for the space hold. The child subfunctions do not hold space and can take place at any time. When the detailing is complete, a user can detail out the parent function. All subfunctions become functions, all child functions become subfunctions, and the parent function is deleted. Characteristics and Constraints of Detailing and Space HoldsThis topic describes characteristics and constraints for detailing and space holds, as they apply to parent functions, subfunctions, and child subfunctions.
