System

Switches | Housekeeping | Daily Maid Service (Switch 219-01): The "Daily Maid Service" Switch 219-01 only comes into play when Enhanced Housekeeping (S2) is NOT installed. When Enhanced Housekeeping is not installed and the New Reservation screen is accessed, the system sets the Daily Maid checkbox to either blank (prompt), Yes, or No (based on the switch setting). This is the only time the switch is referenced in the system. The checkbox can be altered on a reservation by reservation basis.

When Enhanced Housekeeping is installed, Switch 219-01 and the Daily Maid Flag are ignored; and rooms are marked as "D" (Dirty) during the Night Audit/Day End process.

When the goal is to never mark rooms as dirty in the RDP system, DO NOT INSTALL the Enhanced Housekeeping module (S2) and set the following switches as listed:

219-01 – Daily Maid Service = No
219-03 – Mark room dirty at check-out = No
419-13 – Mark old room dirty when a guest changes room = No
423-03 – Allow group check-in to dirty rooms = No
427-03 – (Direct check-out systems only) At close of day only mark reservations that are checking out as dirty (do not mark at check-out time) = No.
RDPWin Monitor | Configuration | Number of Days Past to Check for New Reservations: The default setting only looks for new reservations made today for confirmations. The maximum setting is 100. This setting only affects sending of confirmations.

When Yes is selected at the prompt, the Long Term Dates screen displays. Once the dates and rates are set, the New Reservation screen displays and the normal reservation process continues.
New Reservations | Long Term Reservations | Dates Button: When a long term reservation dates and rates are set and the New Reservation screen displays, the "Dates" button is included on the New Reservation screen.

Configuration | Owners Tab | Reservation Listing Page | Hide Guest Name on All Reservations: When checked, no names are shown on the View Reservations list in IRM.Net (including owner and guest of owner reservations) and the "Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List" is disabled in RDPWin. When not checked, guest names are displayed on the Res Listings page for only owner and guest of owner reservations unless the "Show Guest Name on Paying Guest List" is checked.

Configuration | Owners Tab | Statements | Number of Prior Months to Display Statements: Select the number of months worth of statements to allow for display in the IRM.Net for owners. The default setting is zero "0" which actually means that all available statements are available for display in the "Ending Statement Date" drop-down list. For example, when the current system date is March 1st and this field is set to two "2", statement dates available for display are 1/1/98 to 3/1/98.
Configuration | Owners Tab | User Password Crystal Report for E-mail Body: Click the Browse button to select the Crystal report to be used as the e-mail body when sending an e-mail to the user with forgotten account information required for IRM.Net access.
