| Configuration Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Booking Types | You can associate a booking type with a business block to categorize business blocks for reporting purposes. For example, business blocks might be associated with a wedding, a commercial exhibition, a tour, a conference, or so on, and it may be useful to view block revenues and other information segregated by these types. |
| Cancellation Reasons | A business block cancellation reason is required when you change a block's status to Cancelled. |
| Lost Reasons | A business block lost reason is required when you change a block's status to Lost. |

| Rankings | A block ranking gives sales managers a way to assign a priority to blocks. |

| Refused Reasons | This configuration allows you to create codes that specify why a block was refused. A block refused reason is required when you change a block's status to Refused. |
| Reservation Methods | This configuration allows you to indicate how reservations are expected to be picked up for the block. In many cases it will be done via rooming lists, but reservation pick-up could also be handled via individual guest calls, a convention bureau, or others. |
