Figure 24:
Figure 25: |
With the help of the lookup function, the data for BWR Members can be searched for directly in the BWI CRS. Existing BWI guest profiles can be over-written with the data from the CRS when necessary. Should a BWR Member being searched for not yet have a guest profile, the lookup function can assist you to also create a new guest profile for the respective guest. You will find the lookup function under Add-Ons modules - see figure 24: You can also access the lookup function directly from the guest profile, should the guest be a BWR member - see figure 25. |

After calling up the lookup function, the following dialog box appears - see figure 26. |

Showing and hiding columns If you want, you can hide unwanted columns. To do so, select the column title of the column in question and then click on the small arrow - see figure 30. |

ResendThe Resend button enables you to send the data from the CRS to the PMS. Select the desired guest / company from the results list and click the [Resend] button to save the data to protel - see figure 34. |
|
|
|
For each Resend, protel will check to see whether or not a guest profile with the sent BWR number already exists. If this is the case, the existing profile will be updated with the address data from the CRS (telephone, email, etc.). Existing data (e.g., "Pers. Data" and "Requests") will be kept. Example: A guest checks in and notices that the address in protel is no longer valid. Based on the BWR number, the data can quickly be looked up in the CRS. Should the data in the CRS be more up to date, the profile can simply be “reloaded” by means of the Resend button. Should there not have been a guest profile created for a guest in protel, the lookup function will enable you to create a new guest profile with the information from the CRS. Example: A guest, who is staying at your hotel for the first time will give you his BWR during check-in. With the help of the disclosed number, you can simply search for the data in the CRS and can then create a new profile in protel using the Resend button.
