Add Room Classification
The Class tab allows users to configure new class types for rooms on the property. Users can classify the room based on occupancy, bed type, and so on.
Classes make it easy to filter for room types that may be similar when booking a reservation, upgrading a room, or making housekeeping assignments. For example, a Standard class can be used for King and Queen rooms, and a Suite class for Premium Suites. In this example, the Premium Suite can be configured as an upgrade of $50 from a Standard room class at the time of check-in, based on availability.
Users can also configure ranks for the room type classes when the Room Move Reasons Based on Category feature setting is enabled. For existing room type classes that are already defined, the rank will be prefilled as 1 when the feature setting is turned on.
