Need Reservations: Check this box when reservations are accepted and the activity or service is bookable for guests. This box must be checked for the service to appear in a drop-down list and to enable the Enter Time link. Uncheck this box when reservations are not accepted and/or the service is listed for informational purposes only.
Seasonal: Check this box to enable seasonal date parameters which dictate when the service is active or inactive.
- Starting Date and Ending Date fields appear when the Seasonal box is checked.
- The service will only be active and appear in the Guest Portal from the Starting Date until the Ending Date.
- At other times, the service will be inactive and not appear in the Guest Portal.
- Enter dates manually or click the calendar icon to open a pop-up calendar to select dates.
- Use seasonal dates for activities that are weather dependent such as water activities in the spring and summer, or snowboarding in the winter.
- Enter Golf rates as two separate entries to distinguish between season and non-season dates and corresponding rates.
For example:
18 Holes, Oct – April, $120.00

Sort Order: This is the order in which the activity, service or item will appear within the category. The default value is zero. Lower numbers appear first in the Guest Portal.
Active: This box should be checked unless the activity, service or item is currently unavailable and should be hidden from the Guest Portal.

Price
Some service category forms such as Convenience, Housekeeping, In-Room Amenities, Maintenance, Pillow Menu, Pre-Arrival Room Requests and Room Requests include a field for a price and a checkbox asking if the price should be displayed. If the price is static and should be displayed in the Guest Portal, enter it in the price field and check the box.
This is how it might appear in the Guest Portal:
