Configuring Source Groups

Source Groups enable you to group several different types of source codes for reporting and tracking purposes.

When the OPERA Multi-property Cross Reservation Cloud Service is active, new Source Groups are created by selecting the Template tab. Once created, you can copy Source Groups to specific properties using the Copy action. See  Copying Configuration Codes to Multiple Properties for more information.
