Locator Configuration
The Locator screen (Configuration > Setup > Locators) is used to create the (optional) standard texts that are offered whenever a user needs to record the specific whereabouts of a guest — known as a guest locator. Whenever a Front Office agent calls the guest information screen, he or she has the possibility of entering a message, a trace and/or a locator for the selected guest. To facilitate the faster entry of locators, you can use this screen to define standard locator texts so that the operator only has to select a locator from a list instead of typing the full location each time.
The Locator screen shows the existing locator codes and their descriptions. When the OPP MHOT Multi-property PMS add-on license is active, you can create and edit locator templates, then copy them to properties. Once the template has been copied to a property, it can be modified as necessary for use at that property. Select the Template option button to create, edit or copy template locators.
To view and edit locators for a specific property, select the Property option button, then select the down arrow on the Property field. From the Property LOV, choose the property to add or modify locators.
The Locators screen displays the following information.
Locator Code. Number assigned to the locator.
Description. Text that describes the locator.
Inactive. Select this check box to mark a locator code inactive. If a code is inactive it is excluded from the displayed list of choices for the property. Designating a template locator as Active or Inactive does not change the status of locators at properties that were copied using that template. However, when a template locator is marked Inactive (or Active) and then copied to a property, the property locator is also designated Inactive (or Active).
Display Sequence. Number that determines the position of the locator when the locators are displayed in an LOV. Locators without a sequence number assigned to them are displayed in numeric order based on locator code, following all locators having a sequence number.
Provide the following information in the Locators - New or Edit screen and select the Save button.
Locator Code. Type the number that will be assigned to the locator.
Description. Type the text that describes the locator.
Inactive. Select this check box to mark a locator code inactive. If a code is inactive it is excluded from the displayed list of choices for the property. Designating a template locator as Active or Inactive does not change the status of locators at properties that were copied using that template. However, when a template locator is marked Inactive (or Active) and then copied to a property, the property locator is also designated Inactive (or Active).
Display Sequence. Type the number that determines the position of the locator when the locators are displayed in an LOV. Locators without a sequence number assigned to them are displayed in numeric order based on locator code, following all locators having a sequence number.
When the OPP MHOT Multi-property PMS add-on license is active, you can create locator templates, then copy them to properties.
Select the Template option button and mark the locators to copy to target properties. To mark a locator, place an X next to the entry by clicking in the X column. To mark all locators, select the All button. To un-select all locators, select the None button. Select the Copy button. From the Property LOV select the properties to copy the marked locators to. Select the OK button.
