7.4 Multiple Resorts
IRMng supports two separate methods for displaying availability from multiple resort directories. Configure to use one method or the other.
Method 1
If multiple resort directories are in use, optionally configure IRMng to display on the initial view, below the search criteria, property wide information for each property. From there, guest can select a property for which to Search for Availablity.
First enable the property wide content as in 7.2 Property Wide Information above, also check the 'Show property calendars for multiple resorts' checkbox. From RDPWin / IRM / Configuration -> Multiple Resorts tab, specify which resort directories to
include, the property name and UNC data path to the resort directory (\\<dataserver>\rdpnt\rdp\rdp<xx>). Use the Up/Down buttons to indicate the order in which to display the properties. Configure the Multiple Resorts tab from each of the included resort directories.
Method 2
Alternatively, when IRM is configured for inventory reservations, availability from multiple resorts can be shown in a single available rooms list. Enabled this feature from RDPWin / IRM / Configuration -> Multiple Resorts tab, 'Enable Multiple Resorts Availability' checkbox. Indicate which resorts to include in the availability
list and in what order, as well as room type order within the list. Enable this feature from each of the resort directories to be included, the display order can be unique from each resort.
Further customize the display with the following:
- Resort Name: Used to label the 'Filter Results' checkboxes and above each room type label in the availability list
- Subtitle HTML: Optionally appears before each resort's availabilty list. Also check the 'Display Resort Subtitle' checkbox
- Select Heading: Optionally appears before each resort's Filter Results checkbox (for example could include a logo). Also check the 'Display Resort Select Heading' checkbox
For the filter by property checkboxes to display on the search criteria view, from 'Startup Settings' configuration, check the 'Show Advanced Search' under Optional Features.
Configure the multiple resort availability feature from each of the resort directories to be included.
As of IRMng 5.1.007.05, availability from multiple resorts in preassign mode can be shown in a single available rooms list. To manage the total amount of data included in
the combined list: first a list of available room types (or room type grouping codes) will be displayed. Select from that list to see a list of available room numbers. If rates are configured by room number, then
the rates tab should be hidden when room types are being displayed (RDPWin IRM / Configuration -> Multiple Resort tab)
