Room Availability Based on Pets |
Top Previous Next |
Q. Is there a way that I can make a room unavailable if certain criteria exists? For example: If someone has a pet and a room is a no-pet room, can I make it not allow the reservation if the customer has pets listed in the customer database?
A. It can't be based specifically on the # of pets, but you can use the Attributes/Preferences functionality to flag sites that allow pets. Then you can keep those from showing as available for new reservations if you check a "Pets" preference box. There's already a Sites data field for "Pets OK", and a matching Reservations field. Enable those for both Sites and Reservations, through Maintenance / Data Field Definitions. Then you can add this field as a quick-preference checkbox on the New Reservation dialog by going to Maintenance / Program Options / Reservations and selecting the "Pets OK" field in the Quick-Preferences list.
