Room Move Reason Setup

The Room Move Reason Setup option allows users to add room move reasons. Property managers can now set reasons for room movement. Users can choose a room move reason either for all room moves performed within Stay or for room moves between different room types.

When a room move reason has been added to the Room Move Setup, the reason becomes available for selection in the Change Room modal. Room move reasons can be created at the customer level and property level. Reasons created at the customer level are made available for all properties and can be made active or inactive based on the property’s preference.
