Making Block Reservations Using a Rooming List

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.
  1. 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.
  2. From your search results, click I Want To... and then from Go To click Rooming List.
  3. On the Manage Rooming List screen, click Import Rooming List.
  4. Click Choose File to browse and then select a Microsoft Excel .xls or .xlsx file.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Click Add Reservations. The rooming list fields populate with the information from the mapped columns.
  8. In the Manage Rooming List screen, enter additional information and then click Save.
