Groups - Creating a Group Profile - Group Profile Overview

1. Open 'Groups' page

2. Click '+ Create Group Profile'

3. Give a name to the group.

4. Put a status ("Open" by default; can be set to "Closed" on the group page). This status is for informative purposes, to help the user filter out active and inactive groups.

5. Select group profile type (for informative purpose, this setting doesn't affect functionality). 

• Group - a one-time event, like a party or a wedding.
• Company - for a corporate type of business, which books the rooms for its employees.
• Travel agent - tour operator, which books your property for their clients.
• Wholesaler - like OTAs, whom you pay commission for bringing the clients.

6. Route to group folio: each group profile has its master group folio.

• If you select "Yes" -  the transactions from individual reservations that belong to that Group are going to be automatically transferred to the master group folio and will affect the group balance due. The transactions will still appear on the reservations but will not affect the individual reservation's balance due.
• If you select "No" - the transactions from individual reservations that belong to that Group, will not be automatically transferred to the master group folio.

7. If you selected "Yes" in the previous step - you will need to select "Transaction Types" (which transaction types from reservations in the group should be automatically routed to this master group folio).

8. Select Folio Configuration for the group profile folio (if you have split-folio functionality enabled).*

9. Select Source (for tracking purposes).

10. Enter the address for the group (not required).

11. Add notes if needed (can be done any time later).

12. Click SAVE.

The group profile will appear in the table on the "Groups" page. In the table you can check the following information about the group:

• Group code (always starts with "g")
