In this video you will learn how to create a new block and create a new
00:08
event for the block. To create a new block in OPERA Cloud, go to bookings,
00:13
blocks, and then select manage block. Click the I want to menu. Now click block
00:21
to create a new block. On the create block screen you can define the block
00:25
details and add the room and catering details. In this example, because I'm
00:30
logged in to a hub, I must select a property. I select the property from the
00:34
list and then click select. Next I select the account magnifying glass to find an
00:39
existing account. On the manage profile screen I can find an account and contact
00:44
name for a company, travel agent, or source profile and connect it to the
00:48
block. I can click the I want to menu to create a new contact profile for a
00:53
company, travel agent, or source. In this example I enter the name Oracle and
00:58
click search to find the account.
01:02
Now I can see a list of accounts and related contacts. When I select an
01:07
account on the left and click search the related contacts appear to the right. I
01:11
can select a contact from the list, choose to create a new contact or
01:16
account from the I want to menu or select the vertical ellipse to create a
01:20
new linked contact. In this example I select the account Oracle Corporation -
01:25
IDC and click search. Now I can select the related contact from the list of
01:31
related contacts. Now I can scroll down to select the
01:35
option to select only the account or to select both the highlighted account and
01:40
contact from the columns. In this example, I scroll down to select both the account
01:45
and contact. Now I see the account, contact, block name, and the block ID are
01:51
filled in. The account name automatically fills in the block name. I can edit any
01:57
of this information as needed. Next I check the catering only option.
02:02
The rooms details section is hidden when this option is selected because rooms
02:06
are not part of the block if this is a catering only event. I continue by
02:11
entering the required information that's noted in red to create the block. Next
02:16
I'll click the magnifying glass to select the room status. In this example, I
02:21
select inquiry from the list and click select. Next I'll click the market
02:27
magnifying glass and select the group corporate market code from the list. And
02:31
then click select. Next I select the source magnifying glass to select catering as
02:38
the source for this block and then click select. In the catering details section I
02:43
must enter the number of event attendees to activate the options related to
02:47
events. In this example, I'll enter 50 attendees. You must click outside the
02:54
attendees field to activate the next options.
02:58
I can see the room grid option is not active because previously I selected
03:03
catering only for this block. I can enter any additional information for this
03:07
block and then I can select an option. Save, save and manage block, save and
03:13
create an event, save and add template, or save and add a catering package. For this
03:20
example I'll select the option to save and create an event. Now I can enter the
03:24
required event details. I'll select the event type magnifying glass and select
03:29
breakfast from the list. Then click select. When I select the event type the
03:34
event name is automatically populated with the name breakfast. If needed I can
03:39
edit the name. For this event type the events start and end times begin with
03:44
8:00 a.m. and end with 9:00 a.m. I will change the start time to 9:00 a.m. and
03:49
the end time to 11 a.m. for this event. Next I'll scroll down to select an
03:54
option. I can choose to select the option to save and create another event, save
03:59
and manage event, or save. In this example, I'll click Save. Now I can see the new
04:05
event created for this block ID. I can click the plus sign to view the block
04:09
overview. Or I can click the I want to menu for
04:14
more options related to this block and this event.
04:21
I can also click the event details link to edit or add details to this event. Or
04:27
I can click the I want to menu for options related to this event.
