A group contact or agent often provides a rooming list in spreadsheet format to reserve group block rooms. You can import these lists into the block to automate the reservation process.
- From OPERA CLOUD menu, select Booking > Blocks > Manage Blocks and then search for the block. The block must have rooms allocated and a status that allows for pickup.
- From your search results, click I Want To... and then from Go To click Rooming List.
- On the Manage Rooming List screen, click Import Rooming List.
- Click Choose File to browse and then select a Microsoft Excel .xls or .xlsx file.
- Click Import File. If the file has multiple sheets, select the sheet to import.
The system maps the spreadsheet columns to the corresponding rooming list fields. If a column does not map, you can map it manually. Only mapped columns import. The topic Mapping Columns for an Imported Block Rooming List provides more information.
- Review the mapped columns and make any adjustments.
An error indicator appears if the information is incomplete. Click the icon for instructions to resolve the error.
- Click Add Reservations. The rooming list fields populate with the information from the mapped columns.
- In the Manage Rooming List screen, enter additional information and then click Save.
