Room Web Info

Room Web Info displays a web page located on the property's marketing website in HTML format.  A sample of a web page within RDPWin's demo data shown here displays Room 101 information.  The information is customized by each property and should contain information for specific room numbers or other spaces deemed as a room master such as gym, spa, etc.  An error message displays when the specified file does not exist.  These files are not stored in the RDPNT/RDP folder but on the individual property's website.

When a URL is entered on the room master and Room Web Info is clicked, RDPWin opens a window and displays the web page.  This web page normally already exists on the marketing site, eliminating the need to create multiple files for RDPWin.
