   For more information about the fields in the Government Rate list, see Creating Default Sleeping Room Pricing Rules.

6. Save the record, and click Apply.

7. Scroll down to the Government Open list, and create a new record for each sleeping room type that defines the dates on which the government rates are available.

   The following table describes some of the fields.

   Field	Comments
   Sleeping Room	Sleeping room for which available dates are to be defined.
   Start Date	The date on which the government rates become available. This date must be the same as the date defined for the sleeping room in the Government Rate list.
   Start Day	This field is automatically populated when the Start Date field is completed.
   End Date	The date on which the government rates are no longer available. This date must be the same as the date defined for the sleeping room in the Government Rate list. There is some validation on the Start and End Dates as follows: End Date >= Start Date + 365 This means that a function space pricing rule can only run for one year at the most.
   End Day	This field is automatically populated when the End Date field is completed.
   Monday - Sunday	Click the check box for each day of the week on which the government rates are available. For example, government rates might not be available on Saturday and Sunday nights. If the pricing rule runs for less than one week, then it will only be possible to edit the fields for the relevant days.
   Comments	Comments on the rule.

8. Save the record, and click Apply. The Government Sleeping Room Pricing list displays the government rates and indicates the dates and days on which these rates apply.
