Room Features

Each room can have Features associated with the room number. A Feature is a desirable element that is not always included in that Room Type.  For example, if each room has a microwave, you do not need to list it as a special feature.  If however only some rooms have a microwave, then this is a special feature and should be included.

When assigning a room to a guest you can search the Room Chart and the Room Scan by Features (and Room Locations) requested to find the best room available.

This is part of the required configuration for Skyware Systems and is initially performed at installation for you. You may however 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.
