In this video, you will learn how to view room availability for blocks on the Group
00:10
Rooms Control screen. Let's get started.
00:13
In OPERA Cloud, go to Bookings, select blocks, and then select Group Rooms control.
00:20
Enter a property, a start date, and any additional information,
00:25
then click search to view the room availability for blocks.
00:28
Now, I can see a daily summary of rooms set aside for blocks.
00:33
I click the arrow to scroll through dates. Next, I click the calendar icon to
00:38
select a different date range. In this example, I click June 8th.
00:48
Now, I see the date range change and the colors display on the 7th and 8th of June.
00:55
Click the Day Details tab to view the legend and the color descriptions.
00:59
In this example, I see the green on June 7 indicates a special event,
01:03
and on both June 7th and 8th there is a rate protect and a non compete indicated.
01:09
The Rate protect option is only available when the Lowest Rate Guaranteed OPERA Control
01:14
is active. The rate protect means no other groups should be booked using rates lower
01:19
than the rates assigned to the block. The black color indicates a non-compete
01:23
rate meaning no competing accounts, which are accounts designated with the NC industry code
01:29
should be booked for the same dates as the block marked as non-compete.
01:35
This option is only available when the Non Compete OPERA Control is active.
01:41
The color descriptions typically include special events, holidays, day types, and Rate Protect
01:47
(RP) and Non-Compete (NC) indicators. Depending on your OPERA Cloud configuration
01:54
you may see a different legend and different color descriptions based
01:57
on the services active for the property. Click view options, to turn on or off display
02:02
options by selecting or unselecting the checkbox and then scrolling down to click apply.
02:11
I can click the vertical ellipse to create a block, create a master block,
02:16
or to create a master allocation.
02:18
Or I can click the plus or the minus sign to show or hide the block summary details.
02:28
I can also click the block code or the account name to go directly to the block or the account.
