Grid view (Bookings > Grid view) can be used to add an enquiry if your guests have dates in mind but have not necessarily specified which property they want to stay in. It shows up all properties that are available on a single screen.
1. Go to Bookings > Grid view
2. From Grid view, click on the requested arrival date, and select the number of nights, number of people, then "Place enquiry".
2. Add the dates of interest, number of people, and properties of interest.
3. Add the contact details of the person that is enquiring in the Contact details section
If the person enquiring has previously been staying with you before, you can look their details up using the Lookup past customers button. This will save you having to type in their details again.
You can search for Last name, Eamil address, Postcode or company name
4. Further details for the enquiry, e.g. Custom fields (if set up), Subscription options can be added on the right hand side of the page.
There is also a field where further information can be recorded.
5. Set up a follow-up action.
You should set up an action, e.g. contact customer, check with housekeeper etc.
You assign a follow-up to a specific user, set the date of the follow-up and add any required information in the Notes.
6. Save at the bottom of the page.
We recommend you use Enquiries > Add when you have, for example, received a phone call from a (potential) guest and you want to log their enquiry.
