Online reservation functions will be disabled until the required setup is done. The setup for online reservations is fairly advanced and will require some knowledge of internet settings, plus a basic understanding of computer programming logic will be helpful if you need to set up parsing sets for E-mail requests.

All of the Online Reservations setup functions require Administrator access.

The specifics of the setup depend on which types of online requests you want to handle -- retrieving and parsing formatted E-mail requests, uploading vacancy grid pages to your own web site, or integration with the Webervations online reservation service.

Once you've decided which parts of the online reservation support you need to use, there are 4 major steps that need to be performed for setup:

·Data Fields -- Enable the appropriate data fields needed for online request processing.  
 
·Connections & Options -- Set up the connection parameters required for each type of processing used.  
 
·Parsing Sets -- Define the parsing rules for extracting data from the requests.  
 
·Site Fields -- Fill in the specifics of how each site will be used and identified for online requests.  

Each of these is covered in detail in the following sections. See the "Setting Up" checklists for each type of online reservation handling for a quick guide to what's needed.
