Default guest preferences
Note: If item preferences on the Private Booking Preferences > Guest Prefs dialog are set to required (Req), the item preferences supersede the guest preferences and the preference level, except when the item preference is blank/empty. Then, the guest’s level supersedes.
To set default guest preferences:
1. Go to SysManager > Preferences > Private Bookings.
2. Access the default Guest Prefs tab.
3. Select the default booking start time for guest preferences using the dropdown box.
Note: This is the value that the start times for bookings for any guest default to – if it is locked (using
Lock Default Value – see
Lock default value), and then all bookings must start at the selected time.
4. Select the base to which you would like the Instr. Base field to default.
Note: The choices in this dropdown are set from the SysManager > Preferences > Instructor > Bases tab.
5. Select to which gender you would like the Sex field to default.
6. Select the next field’s default from your List 1 values (defined in the Captions tab).
Note: If you have not entered List 1 values, there are no selections in the dropdown box.
7. Enter the default value for each Level field (Alpine, Snowboard, Telemark and Other).
8. Check Check Box 1 (its label changes to what you specify in the Captions tab) to force the default value of Check Box 1 to be TRUE and leave it unchecked to force the default value to FALSE.
9. Check Check Box 2 (its label changes to what you specify in the Captions tab) to force the default value of Check Box 2 to be TRUE and leave it unchecked to force the default value to FALSE.
10. Enter the default value for the Numeric 1 field (its label changes to what you specify in the Captions tab).
11. Enter the default value for the Numeric 2 field (its label changes to what you specify in the Captions tab).
12. Select the default value for this field from your List 2 values (defined in the Captions tab).
Note: If you have not entered List 2 values, there are no selections in the dropdown box.
13. Choose or enter the default Experience value.
Note: The Experience field is a greater-than-or-equal-to field. The instructor must have at least the number of years of experience that the guest prefers or requires.
Lock default value
Click the Lock Default Value check box to lock the default value for the field to the left of each box. For example, if you checked the Lock Default Value next to the start time field, it forces all bookings to start at the time entered.
User must select a location
Click the User MUST select a location check box to force the user to select a location before a private booking can be booked.
Note: In Sales, the button is locked at Required. Otherwise, it defaults to N/A with toggle options of Preferred and Required.
Blank/Pref/Req
Use the blank, Pref and Req radio buttons to choose the default value for the blank, Pref and Req buttons associated with the preference to the left. Choices include:
Preferred | Guest prefers this criterion value but does not require it. Note: During booking, those instructors who match this preference are listed first in the instructor list. |
Required | Guest requires this preference be met. Note: During booking, only those instructors who exactly match this preference show in the instructor list. |
Blank | Guest does not have a preference regarding this criterion. Note: During booking, instructors display in the instructor list with no sorting or filtering related to this preference. |
Lock preference value
Click the Lock Pref Value check box to lock the preference value for the field to the left of each box. This forces the preference value in the check boxes to be the only choice in Sales.
