- Out Of Service - When a room is set to ‘Out of Service’, it cannot be assigned to new reservations until you return it to available status. Typically, this option is used for rooms requiring minor repairs or maintenance and last to sell. The room will stay in the inventory and therefore will still be available for sale.
- Out of Order - When a room is set to ‘Out of Order’, it is completely removed from availability and cannot be assigned to any reservations or booked during the specified period. Use this status for rooms that require significant repairs or are unavailable for an extended time, ensuring they are excluded from all booking options until you mark them as available again.
- Customised colour - You can assign a custom colour to any reservation in any status, allowing you to classify it under a predefined category for easier identification and organization. *Ensure every team member understands the meaning assigned to each color.
