Quick Searches

The Quick Searches tab includes several predefined searches and provides a list of actions for you to launch sections of OPERA Cloud quickly. For example, to go to the Arrivals search results, type A. To launch the Arrivals search results as a new session, hold down the SHIFT key and type A. Quick Searches are provided for functions which are active at the property. For example, you may or may not have access to Quick Searches for features like Advance Checked In, Open Folios, and Scheduled Check Outs.

  1. Click Quick Launch from the navigation bar or press F2.
  2. Click the Quick Searches tab.
  3. Review the list of quick searches and instructions for how to go to the screen or launch it in a new session window. Alternately, if you have finished working on the billing screen and a guest arrives at the front desk to check out, there is no need to stay in the billing screen, and you could simply select Go to Screen instead.
    1. Use Launch as New Session to open a new window with your selection. For example, if you are in the process of checking a guest in and you need to search for other reservations, it would be beneficial to use this option because this enables you to perform the search without losing your progress checking in the guest.
    2. Use Go to Screen if there is no work in progress. For example, if you have finished working on the billing screen and a guest arrives at the front desk to check in, there is no need for you to continue working on the billing screen, and you could simply navigate away to check the guest in.
