EVENTS

Menu path: Yield Settings -> Events

Events are considered individual dates or short intervals which influence the demand in different ways than regular days. Thus, it is important to mark them correctly so that the benchmark is more accurate.

1. Event categories list with the possibility to select or deselect “All categories”.
2. Edit Categories for creating new event categories or editing existing ones. A pop up window opens, from where the user has to define the Position of the Event (which dictates the Importance of the event), the code, name, color and what behavior should be applied (as regular day or as event):
3. Add Event – a pop up window opens for adding the name event, the type and category of the event and the event range. There is also the possibility to copy the newly created event to another hotel. When choosing this option, the pop up window changes and includes the hotel list to which the user has access. The category field offers the possibility to view existing events with the same category by clicking on “View all” button.
4. Import and Export buttons – used for Importing an event list from another hotel or Exporting an existing event list from a hotel. Below, you will find a sample of an exported events list:
   When importing Evets, excel file should be used and should have the same format as the one from Exported events (best practice is to import events list which were exported from another hotel).
5. Calendar with the Events marked per day or range, with their corresponding color. Events not mapped to the hotel are displayed in dark gray color.
