Configuring Guest Locators

Locator texts define the standard texts available for selection when a user must add a guest locator to an inhouse reservation. You can add a locator to a reservation via the telephone operator or from the reservation details link. 

To facilitate the faster entry of locators, you can define standard locator texts so that the GSA/phone operator only has to select a locator from a list instead of typing the full location each time.

Note:

When the Multi Property OPERA Control is active, new locators are created by selecting the Template tab. Once created, you can copy locators to specific properties using the Copy action. See  Copying Configuration Codes to Multiple Properties for more information.
