Group. GENERAL |
Type. Setting |
Application. |
PMS |
Description. The number of days after which the credit card information on profile and reservation screens will be masked and will not be available for view/edit to any user regardless of the permissions they have. In case of the Profile, the date credit card was attached to the Profile and in case of the Reservation the date of checkout / departure will be start date to determine the number of days to mask.
Internal Name. DAYS_TO_MASK_CREDIT_CARD_INFORMATION
Property Determination. The value entered in this setting will determine the number of days after which the credit card information on the guest's reservation and profile will be masked for all the users even if they have the permission to view and edit credit card details. The masking will result in only the last 4 digits being visible (e.g., XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234). The credit card information on the profile / reservation will be masked forever once the number of days in this setting have passed.
The date when credit card is attached to the profile will determine when the count will begin to mask the credit card information in case of a profile. If a profile has multiple credit cards attached, the count of days will begin from the date each individual credit card was attached to the profile. Though the credit card information is masked users will still be able to select the credit cards to attach to reservations.
Example: Credit card information was attached to Guest A's profile on March 15th,2008. The application setting value for Days to Mask Credit Card Information is 2 days, so the credit card information on the profile will be masked and will not be visible to any users, regardless of user permissions in OPERA, from March 17th.
The check out date of the reservation will determine when the count will begin to mask the credit card information in case of a reservation.
For a checked out reservation with OPEN FOLIO, the credit card information will not be visible/available for users with applicable permission after the number of days specified by the setting beginning with the checkout date. This is essentially same as for a reservation checked out without OPEN FOLIO. For NOSHOW / CANCELLED reservations, the counting of days to mask the credit card information will begin from the proposed departure date on the reservation.
Example: Guest A has a reservation from April 1st, 2008 to April 3rd, 2008, conf # 345678 and another reservation from April 15th, 2008 to April 18th, 2008, conf # 897890. Assuming the application setting value for Days to Mask Credit Card Information is 2 days, then on April 5th, 2008, the credit card information on reservation conf # 345678 will be hidden from all the users but the credit card information on reservation conf # 897890 will be available to all the users with applicable permissions since it's still an existing future reservation.
When a new reservation is created via ADD ON for a guest that has checked out in the past and had credit card details on the reservation, the credit card details will NOT be copied over to the new reservation if the date when this new reservation is created falls after the checkout date of the past reservation + the value of Days to Mask Credit Card Information.
Example: Guest B has a past reservation with credit card details from April 1st, 2008 to April 5th, 2008. The application setting value for Days to Mask Credit Card Information is 2 days, then on April 8th, 2008 if a new reservation is created via ADD ON, the credit card details will NOT be copied.
