Page Composer is a tool you can use to make custom changes to the OPERA Cloud user interface (UI) by hiding or adding fields to select screens. You can also rearrange fields on the screen layout and add custom flex fields (that is, user defined fields) and links.
Page composer helps your hotel maintain data standards between systems. For example, OPERA Cloud users often pass information from the hotel property to an external system(s). Page Composer enables the two systems to maintain the same data standards by making certain fields mandatory or required when collecting information. Page Composer also enables your hotel chain to maintain consistency by enforcing the same field standards and customization options across properties.

User Role Tasks
Page Composer customization options are based on tasks assigned to a user’s role in Role Manager. Tasks for Personalize, Customize Chain, Customize Property/Hub, and Column Options control access to their respective customization option.
The Personalize task enables the user to make changes that are only applicable/visible to the user who made the change. For example, hide/show fields, reorder columns in tables, reorder fields in panels, and search areas where personalization is available.
The Customize Chain task controls access to the Chain Customization Level, which enables users to make changes that affect or apply to all properties in the chain.
The Customize Property/Hub task controls access to the Property/Hub Customization Level. Changes are applied or visible to users when logged in to a specific property or at the hub level based on the login context (Property or Hub).
The Column Options task enables you to reorder and hide or show table columns.
