Bed allocation

To allocate a bed in a room or dorm manually, proceed as follows:

Ø Open the tab Rooming list.

Ø Click Vacant rooms  either in the listbox or in the expander Edit data.

SIHOT opens the dialog box Vacant rooms and enters the bed category by default.

Ø Enter additional search parameters if required and click Search.

SIHOT shows all beds available according to the search parameters. Depending on the configuration, these can be beds in different room categories (for example in 4-bed-rooms or 6-bed-rooms).

Ø Highlight one of the beds and click Assign.

Alternatively, you can also let SIHOT assign the beds automatically:

Ø To allocate beds for all guests in the reservation, click Automatic room allocation in the function pane.

Ø To allocate a bed for a particular guest within the reservation, highlight the guest in the rooming list and click Automatic room allocation in the function pane or in the Room-column .

When allocating beds automatically, SIHOT searches for free beds under the aspect of optimising occupancy. SIHOT therefore tries to “fill up” occupied rooms first, before selecting a vacant room.
