Releasing Rooms from a Block makes those rooms immediately available for booking outside of the block reservation/stay.
There are two ways to release rooms: Manually and Automatically as a function of the booking.
To manually release rooms, open the Group Stay information screen and click the Release icon . Any rooms that have not been picked up from the block will be released immediately.
The Payment screen of the Reservations Wizard allows you to automatically release rooms a specific number of days prior to the arrival date. .
Once rooms have been released, the system shows group blocks that have been released in the search screen as well as on the stay info tab of the group block. The search screens display the Select button in red.
The Group Stay information screen shows **RELEASED** next to the Name.
NOTE: Once rooms have been released, they cannot be unreleased. In order to "bring rooms back" into the group block you will need to go into the booking, go to the rooms tab and select the number of rooms per night/room type you wish to still have available in the block.
