LESSON 5: Make Your Own Data Entry Panel

The Data Entry Panel is a powerful feature where you can define exactly what information you want the Concierge Staff to obtain for each type of logbook entry. You have a maximum of 15 labels to define for each logbook category.

Hint: If you plan to use Guest Profiles then create a single label named "Credit Card:". The drag-and-drop feature of Guest Profiles builds a field that includes the Credit Card Type, Credit Card Number and Expiration date. An example of this is:

Visa 4122 2548 3215 2314 Exp. 03/03

You should exercise extreme caution in creating your Data Entry Panels. The technology allowing you to create these forms is restricted to the ability to "parse" information from the free form Descriptive Text field.

Any change, other than adding a new label to an existing form WILL result in lost data. Even changing a comma (,) to a period(.) means that the parsing engine will be unable to extract the data in the labeled field.

To create a new Data Entry Panel simply click on the position of the label key the label text into the label field, and press Enter or click on Add. The cursor will automatically skip to the next label line. Repeat the process until all labels are defined.

To delete a Data Entry Panel label you select the label to be deleted and press the Delete button.

If you know that another Data Entry Panel has been created that is like what you wish to have for this logbook category we have the "Clone" feature.

Clone Another Data Entry Panel

Simply select the Data Entry Panel from the Drop Down List and Press the Clone Button. The selected Data Entry Panel will appear. You may add or change any label lines you wish.
