Daily Information
The Daily Information section of the Availability page displays a summary of your inventory, occupancy, and total guestroom revenue per day. Before you get started, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Total Available is the sum of all guestroom types (King, Queen, Double-Double, etc.).
- Total Available is represented by the Run of House (ROH) guestroom type. For example, if you have 50 Kings and 50 Queens at your property, your ROH is 100 rooms.
- When you open the Availability page, you're automatically shown the daily totals for the last property you viewed. If you're opening the Availability page for the first time or you've cleared your browser cache, your default property will be displayed. If you haven't set your default property, your org's default property will be displayed instead.
- If you have access to multiple properties, you can use the Properties picklist in the top-right corner of the page to switch to a sister property or to view availability for multiple properties at the same time.
For properties with an External Availability integration, you have the capability to select up to three integrated properties simultaneously.
- If the Prevent Availability Autoload option is selected on the Amadeus User Settings page, you won't see daily totals until you select a property and click Go.
- Click the Availability tab.
- If you don't see the Daily Information section, click the Daily Information button in the top-left corner of the page.
- Enter the date you want to view and press the ENTER key, or click the Calendar button and select a date.
If you want the Availability page to display the last date you viewed, select Remember Last Availability Date on the Amadeus User Settings tab. If you don't select this option, today's date will be displayed each time you open the page.
- To change the time increment that is displayed, click the corresponding button at the top of the page: 1 Day, 3 Days, 1 Week, 2 Weeks, or 4 Weeks (if enabled by your administrator). The double arrow buttons allow you to move forward or backward by that increment. The single arrow buttons allow you to move forward or backward one day at a time.
- If you have access to multiple properties, use the Property picklist to do one of the following:
- To add a property to your view - Select the check box next to each property whose availability you want to view and click Go.
For properties with an External Availability integration, you have the capability to select up to three integrated properties simultaneously.
- To remove a property from your view - Clear the check box next to the property and click Go.
The following table describes the Daily Information rows. Depending on how your Corporate Administrator configured the Availability page, you may not see all of these.

Right-click anywhere in the Daily Information section to use these options:
Refresh | Displays the most current information. You'll want to refresh often if you keep the Availability page (or any of its sections) open while you're working in other areas. |
Collapse All | Collapses all the rows under a property, which is helpful when you are looking at the Daily Information for multiple properties. |
Expand All | Displays all the rows under a property. |
You may notice some dates highlighted in different colors. These are date collections, which broadcast special dates (holidays, citywides, promotions, etc.) on the Availability page. Your administrator assigns a color to each of your property's date collections so they are easily identifiable when you check availability.
