Blended Revenue | Blended Revenue columns are available for each of your corporate revenue classifications, and a Blended Revenue Total column is available for the event.

Function Room |
This is the function room for the booking event. If a conflict exists with the function room you select, a warning icon displays in the grid and your event is moved to the Unassigned room. See Resolve booking event conflicts. To avoid conflicts, check availability before you block function space. |
Function Room Setup |
This is the setup style for the function room. This value defaults from the event classification if selected. If an event classification is not selected, the value defaults from the function room. The maximum and minimum capacities for the function room setup are used in conflict checking. If a setup is not selected, the function room's default capacities are used instead. |
Guaranteed | This is the total number of guests the customer has guaranteed to attend the event. |
Moveable |
When this value is set to Yes, it indicates users with the appropriate permissions can move the booking event to another function room. When this value is set to No, the event cannot be moved. |

When this value is set to Yes, the booking event displays in the Event Posting report. This value defaults from the event classification. |
Rental | This is the rental rate for the function room. This defaults from the selected function room, or you can manually enter a flat amount for non-package bookings. If you use package events, do not enter a default rental rate on the Function Room page. Instead, enter the function room rental as a per person amount on the package event revenue breakdown. |
Set | This is the total number of seats to be set for the event. You can enter the set attendance for both non-package and package events. |
Setup Duration and Teardown Duration | These values default from the function room setup if selected. If a function room setup is not selected, the values default from the function room. Setup and Teardown Duration values are specified in minutes and are added to the event block in the Function Diary. See Navigate the Function Diary. Setup and teardown times are included in conflict checking. If a conflict exists, a warning displays. Your booking event remains in the selected function room, however, and is not moved to the Unassigned room. For more information, see Conflict checking. |
Start Date and End Date | These dates default from the booking's arrival date. |
Start Time and End Time | These times default from the selected event classification. A booking event's times are based on the time zone of the property where the booking event takes place. |

Total Event Items | This displays the number of items that are on the event. Use this field along with the item indicator (![]() |
Sort events
To sort the information in a column, click the arrow next to the column header and select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending. When you sort the events in the grid, they are also sorted in ascending order by Start Date and Time, regardless of the primary sort. For example, if you sort by Event Classification, all events within each classification display in ascending order according to their Start Date and Time. This sorting applies to every column in the grid except Function Room. The Function Room column has a secondary sort of Function Room Setup. In this case, the Setup sort always follows the direction of the Function Room sort.
