Change Journal

With the Journaling feature of roomMaster, every change to a data field on a folio or reservation is tracked in a Change Journal. The Change Journal shows the old data that was changed as well as the new data that replaced it. The Journal also records each instance a folio is printed and by whom it was printed as well as each time a confirmation or other letter is printed, faxed or emailed. This new feature is found under More Options of each record as well as the Front Desk menu option. Go to Setup > Configuration > System and check the box for Enable Guest Change Journal to enable the change journal feature.
