Setting Up Property Day Parts

Before the Function Space Diary can be used, either the administrator or the corporate revenue manager must segment the operational day into periods of time and then set up these day parts for the Function Space Diary. Display day parts are set up at the corporate level and then applied to each property. In the Function Space Diary, the user can select the Day/Day-Part display option to view each day with the time axis divided into the defined day parts.

Note: It is recommended that administrators activate the Audit Trail option so that changes to existing records are tracked. The Audit Trail Engine must be configured to use the Audit Trail option. For more information on configuring and using Audit Trail, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

This task is a step in Process of Defining Day Parts, Status Indicators, and Setup Style Translations.

To set up day parts

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Day Parts view.

2. In the Day Parts list, create a record, complete the fields, and save the record.

   The following table describes some of the fields.

   Field	Comments
   Day Part Name	The name of the day part. For example, Morning.
   Start Time End Time	The start time of the day part, and the time that the day part ends. Day parts can span two different days. For example, a day part might run from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. However, day parts can only span one 24-hour time period.
   Comments	Notes for the corresponding Day Part record.

To validate day parts

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Day Parts view.

2. Click Validate.

   If there are any gaps or overlaps between the day parts, a dialog box is displayed prompting you to recheck the day part definitions. A check is also run to make sure that the sum of all day parts totals 24 hours. If the day parts are validated, then focus will move to the last day part in the list.
