Creating a group booking in Abode allows more than one booking to have the same booking number. It will also allow you to manage the bookings individually if necessary.
(Have a booking you want to add to a group that doesn't quite fit or already exists? How do I add an individual booking to a group?)
There are three easy ways to create a group booking.
Click and drag
- Click and hold your mouse down on the calendar (on the first room, first night). With the mouse button still held down - drag down the calendar to select multiple rooms, and across to select multiple nights.
- Enter a name for the group and select OK. (Names in the group can be edited afterwards)
Add individual rooms
- Select the date and room/bed for the first guest.
- Enter the necessary booking information and then select Open Group.
- Select 'New' from the table. Select an available room/bed from the list. It will copy the information from the first booking if available.
Bulk add room types
- For big bookings and add several rooms/beds at once, select Add Multiple Rooms.
- You can search by Room (1), filter by Type (2), select all in the list (3), select individually (4), and once complete save changes (5).
Managing group bookings
- Individual fields can be changed from the group booking screen, or you can open each individual booking.
- Make bulk changes to a group using the bottom line of the table. Also view the group invoice using the total Cost.
- You can also make group actions using the main buttons on the screen.
