When the Day Types is active in OPERA Controls, certain day types can be configured in OPERA which allow rates to be either increased or decreased on these days depending on forecasted occupancy. Rates will be temporarily increased for that day type by a percentage or additional amount. This day type can be reused for multiple dates. These codes will be displayed on the Property Availability screen and the Property Calendar together with the event codes, giving your reservation agents the ability to view upcoming and current rate factors.
Day Types do not apply to blocks. Blocks are negotiated rates, and therefore, when a block is created, the rate is picked up from the rate code configuration. When reservations are made against the block, the reservation will pickup the rate on the block. Day Type conditions only apply to individual reservations.
Impact of Day Type Codes to the Function Diary
Day Type and Event Codes impact the display of the Function Diary:If a Day Type is configured, the date will be highlighted in the color assigned to that Day Type and date.
If an Event Code is configured, the dates for that event will be highlighted with a legend with the assigned day type color.
If both a Day Type and Event Code are configured, the date will be highlighted in the color configured of that Day Type configured for that date and a legend with the description of the Event Code configured for that date.
