For a clearly structured overview of all the information, protel Air uses tables in many windows.
As each user has individual preferences for what is to be displayed on the screen, protel Air enables tables to be adjusted and customized accordingly.
The contents of columns with underlined column titles can be edited inline.
Learn more about inline editing:
Click two times into the underlined field for the column you would like to edit.
Change the contents of the field which you have clicked on.
Click [Enter] to adopt the changes.
Example:
Figure: Reservation list > Change room number inline |
See only what you need and what you want to. In order to improve your overview, you can decide to hide some columns.
To do so, move the mouse pointer over the title of a certain column and then click on the small arrow.
Figure: Open column selection |
Select the columns entry from the
drop-down list.
Columns which are displayed in the dialog box are marked by a check
mark .
Figure: Selection of columns to be displayed. Tip: Enter the first letter of the column you are looking for until the column appears in the list. |
To hide a column, remove the check from the check box.
You can save the current list view
- see following picture:
These settings are saved for each individual user. Whenever you reload the list or restart your hotelsoftware, the list is displayed just the way you left it.
All the tables are pre-sorted when they are first opened. To suit your needs, you can change the sort sequence for the table entries at any time:
Simply click the table header by which you want to re-sort the table. All the table contents are then sorted in descending order based on that criterion.
By clicking on the table header again, the content is sorted in ascending order.
The column used to sort the table is indicated by a small arrow, pointing up or down, in the column header.
Figure: Changing the column width |
When a table is first opened, the width of each column is set in such a way that most entries can be fully read. However, you can also customize the width of each column:
Drag the mouse pointer over the vertical line between the columns until the pointer turns into a double arrow .
Then move the line by clicking and holding the mouse key and and drag it to the left or right as much as you like. Then let go of the mouse key.

Drag the mouse pointer over the vertical line between the columns until the pointer turns into a double arrow and double-click on the double-arrow .
The column width automatically adjusts itself to the contents of the column.
Figure: Move columns |
If you wish, you can also move whole columns within the table.
To do this, just click the headline of the table column that you want to move and, keeping the mouse button held down, drag it to the position you want.
Let go of the mouse button and the column will be inserted into its new position.
