A room class is a collection of room types having similar characteristics (for example — all room types on Club floors or all apartment accommodation). You can create Room Classes to group similar room types for easier and more highly controlled room inventory management an statistical reporting. Dashboard tiles, application search panels and reports can be filtered by room class.
Creating a Room Class
To create a room class, do the following:
From the OPERA Cloud Administration menu, select Inventory, select Accommodation Management, and then select Room Class.
Click New and enter the following information, and then click Save:
Code: Enter a unique code to identify the room class. It is a best practice to evolve a naming convention around giving Room Class Codes - it makes easy for you to search and associate Room Types at a later stage.
Description: Enter an appropriate description for the Room Class - the description should ideally describe what the Room Class is about. For example, Use this room class to group Standard and Deluxe room types.
Manage Translations: Click Manage Translations to enter the description in other languages.
Sequence: Enter a number to determine the order in which room class codes are displayed when listed. If you do not enter a sequence number, the system defaults to alphabetical order by code.
Modifying a Room Class
To modify an existing room class in your property, do the following:
From the OPERA Cloud Administration menu, select Inventory, select Accommodation Management, and then select Room Class.
Search and select the required room class that you want to modify and then click Actions. You can perform the following modifications:
Delete: Click Delete to delete the room class.
Edit: Click Edit to modify the room class code, description, and the sequence number, and then click Save.
Copying Room Classes to other Properties
Note:
When the multi-property service is active, new room classes are created by selecting the Template tab. After creating the template, you can copy room classes to specific properties using the Copy action.
