Settings for using Reservation Headers and reservation tracking
Sales can be configured to use Reservation Headers, which allows you to collect marketing information when a web sale is finalized. The following site config settings are pertinent to using Reservation Headers and Reservation Tracking functionality (only edit the portion between the double-quotes that follows value =):
• Site Admin Panel > Reservation Settings > UseResHeaders value = 0
• Site Admin Panel > Reservation Settings > EnableResTracking value = 0
• Site Admin Panel > Reservation Settings > ResTrackField value = mktg_code
• Site Admin Panel > Reservation Settings > ResTrackRequired value = 0
To enable the use of Reservation Headers you must set the value for the key UseResHeaders to 1 and the Sales Host must be licensed for Reservations. This then makes it possible to collect marketing information depending on how the remaining three keys listed above are set.
If the value for the EnableResTracking key is set to 1, then, the Reservation Tracking functionality is active, and a selection box is displayed on the Checkout page with a dropdown arrow to select one of the available values for the ResTrackField selected (see below). If the value for EnableResTracking is set to anything except 1, this functionality is not active on the Checkout page.
The value set for the ResTrackField key determines which field from the resrvatn table is used - the options are: mktg_code, srce_code, user_code1, user_code2, user_code3 and wrap_code. Any other field from the resrvatn table entered here de-activates the functionality.
If the value for the ResTrackRequired key is set to 1, then the web purchaser must make a selection using the dropdown arrow for the ResTrackField selected above before the sale can be finalized. If the value for the ResTrackRequired key is set to anything other than 1, then, the web purchaser has the option to make a selection using the dropdown selection box or leave it blank.
