Block and Catering Event Statuses

Block and Catering Event Statuses

Group blocks and catering events maintain a status that determines whether blocks and events are inquiry, non-deduct, deduct, cancelled, waitlist, or actual. Up to 12 status codes can be configured and once defined you must setup the block status flow to establish the one-way progression through these statuses. You must also nominate which status codes are available as an initial/starting status for block and events and sequence the status codes in such a way that status flow can be configured.

Note:

Ensure the OPP block status code is updated with a default reservation type and display color.

Additionally, status codes identify when a block is open for pickup - allowing the entry of reservations to pickup a room from the block allocation. When the Block Owner Locking OPERA Control is active you can also specify the status that locks update of the block owner. For more information, see OPERA Controls — Blocks. When the Use Single Block Status for Rooms and Catering OPERA Control is active the status of block and associated events is controlled by the block status. When the Use Single Block Status for Rooms and Catering OPERA Control is inactive, a catering status field is enabled in the Block, Catering Details. For more information, see Managing Blocks

This image shows the Premium badge When the Opportunities OPERA Control is active, an 'OPP' Inquiry status code is automatically added. Ensure this status code is updated with a default reservation type and display color. For more information, see: Managing Opportunities.

Each status code will have a predefined defined status type. Available status types are:

  • INQUIRY (Doesn't deduct allocated rooms and function space from inventory)

  • NON DED INV (Doesn't deduct allocated rooms and function space from inventory)
