Managing accommodation

Accommodation facilities are objects in the Synergetic database with an Object Type of Accommodation. You can book accommodation for staff, students and guests using the accommodation features of SynWeb. See Maintaining object types in the Synergetic Objects manual.

Note: You can use the accommodation features to book objects other than rooms. For example, a conference may require a set of laptops to be booked for the whole conference. See Configuring objects for use in accommodation bookings.

You can:

  • create, edit, confirm and cancel reservations for individuals or groups
  • allocate rooms to reservations
  • check guests in and out of their reserved rooms
  • create new community members for guests not currently in the Synergetic community
  • view a report of the number of available rooms on any given date.
