About Blocks

The Manage Block presentation screen enables you to search for existing blocks and create new blocks. You can open Manage Block from the OPERA Cloud menu under Bookings. The screen shows the Advanced Search function where you can enter a property name and search, or complete additional fields to narrow your search results. The Go to Basic Search link opens a single field for searching by any text you enter.

The presentation screen provides a link that opens the I Want To . . . dialog. You can select to view Blocks linked from the dialog or create a Block, a Master Block, or a Master Allocation.
