Member Number that shows in Profile and Reservation. You can select a High Priority Member Type or determine that the member number that made the profile match is shown on top of the guest profile memberships and the reservation memberships screen. These columns are mutually exclusive but you can also leave both columns blank if you don’t have a preference for the member number to show.
  • High Priority Member Type:

    Select a member type from a list of OPERA values. If a membership record with this member type exists for the profile, or is created during profile download, the member number linked to this member type is inserted as the first record in the OPERA memberships table. It is then visible on top of the reservation screen and as first record in the profile memberships.
  • Match Member Number

    :

    Check this option if you want to give priority to the profile matching member number rather than a specific member type. During download the profile-matching module attempts to find an existing OPERA profile to merge the incoming data with. If the match can be made based on a member number that is linked to an existing profile, this member number is then visible on top of the reservation screen and as first record in the profile memberships.
