Creating a Shared Block Reservation

A shared reservation allows two or more guests to occupy the same room. Each guest can have a separate billing folio. In a block, you can create a share when you create the reservation.

To group reservations into shares, simply enter an identical numerical value in the shares column field for any of the reservations in the table you want to group.

1. From the OPERA Cloud menu, select Blocks, and then select Manage Block.
2. Search for a block.
3. On the reservation in your search results, click I Want To... and select Go to Rooming List, and then click New.
4. Enter a sharing guest’s name, room type, and so on, and then click New.
5. Enter a second sharing guest’s name, room type, and so on. Enter the line number of the first guest in the Sharers field of the second guest.
   Continue adding as many sharing guests as needed. Enter the sharing guests line number (or line numbers separated by a comma) into the one guest's Sharers field.
6. Click Save.
7. On the Shared Room Rate Assignment screen, select a Rate Share Type to determine the rate share method.
   Rate Share Types options are:

   • Split. Splits the rate evenly between all sharing guests.

   • Entire. Applies the rate in full to one sharing guest.

   • Full. Applies the rate in full to each sharing guest.

8. Click Save.
