Lost and Found Status

The Lost and Found Status command on the Property and Systems Configuration Menu screen is used to create and maintain your standard list of Lost and Found statuses available for selection in Skyware Systems (such as Lost, Found, Returned). These are then used with the Lost and Found command found on the Housekeeping Menu screen.

 

This is part of the OPTIONAL configuration for Skyware Systems. You may edit the configuration to suit your property at any time if you have the appropriate access/authorization.

This selection is part of the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware.
