About the Room Diary

The Room Diary provides a chart view of Inventory rooms and the reservations assigned for a selected date range in the past or future. The Room Diary also indicates rooms scheduled for Out of Order or Out of Service status (Available when the Out of Order and/or Out of Service OPERA Controls are active).

Room, room (housekeeping) status and room type are displayed in columns on the left side of the Room Diary chart. Icons display pertinent information about rooms listed; click Legend to display an explanation of the icons. Click a Room or Room Type link to view details such as room description, room attributes, room features, connecting room(s) and images.
