CheckIn Alerts

Unlike a Reservation Rule, a CheckIn Alert does not stop a checkin from happening. It simply allows you to popup a message box to alert the user of some action that needs to be taken.

For example, you may want to notify the user that if there are children (FOH:CHILD > 0), to maybe try and up-sell Babysitting services. Another option would be if the rate is a Dive Package (FOH:RATE_REQ = 'DIVE'), then to alert the user that they should be giving the Dive Package passes or to ask them what time they want to be on the next board.

It is important to know that this will not stop a checkin, maintain validation of the data or require certain types of input. If the rule evaluates to true, a message window will display with the indicated text.

Description and Period Alert

Description - Enter an internal Description of the alert.

Lower Date - Enter a starting date which this rule should be triggered. Leave blank if you wish it to start immediately.

Higher Date - Enter an ending date which this rule should be triggered. Leave blank if you wish it to always be in effect.

Ignore for Groups - Check this box if this rule should not be evaluated if the guest belongs to a Group. (ie: has a Group Code attached)

If Statement

Enter a free-form rule in Clarion syntax that will evaluate to true to bring up the message box/text. If you are not familiar with Clarion Syntax, use the Build button so the wizard can help you build the rule properly.

Alert Message Box

Window Title - Enter the text that will appear in the popup message window.

Message - Enter the full text that will appear in the popup message window. You can use || to start a new line.

For example:

This is line 1.||This is line 2
