Description...

Change Block Status

Select a new status for the block, and view the block's status history.

Shift Block Dates

Select a new start date for the block. If there are any reservations already attached to the block, you will not be able to shift dates for the booking. The new start date must be later than the property's current business date. To ensure that the date change will not create availability conflicts, checks are made to ensure that rooms, function spaces and resources will be available for the new date. Option to overbook if availability is insufficient.

Cutoff Block

Allows you to cut off all rooms in the block despite the actual business date, returning all unsold inventory to house availability.

Parameter: CUTOFF

Delete Block

Delete a Block. If there are any reservations attached to the Block, you will not be able to delete the booking. If rooms have been picked up from the block you may not delete the block unless you first cancel the reservations or remove the Block Code from the reservations.

DELETE BLOCK Task / Permission

Copy Block

Copy the block and attached information. The block you are copying from serves as a template for the new one you create. Once the block has been copied, you may edit it as necessary.
