A Housing Block may have one or more related sub-blocks. Sub-blocks maintain their own room inventories separate from the parent block but appear under the parent block within the Housing Inventory Management dashboard.
You may want to use a sub-block if there is a number of rooms that differ within the same hotel block. For example, you can create a sub-block for suites or for rooms that are not available for the entire length of the meeting.
To create a sub-block, follow the instructions in Creating Housing Blocks and specify a parent block in the Parent field. Alternatively, you can create a sub-block using the Create Sub Block dialog.
Typically, sub-blocks are created after rooms are added to the parent block. The applicable rooms can be transferred when creating the sub-block.
Follow these steps:
- Open the Housing Inventory Management dashboard.
- Select the product to which you want to add a sub-block from the Housing Product drop-down menu.
- Click the New Sub Block button on the dashboard to open the Create Sub Block dialog.
- Enter the name of the new sub-block in the Sub Block-Name field.
- Select the new sub-block's parent (either a block or another sub-block) from the Parent Block drop-down menu. The Parent Block Room Inventory table automatically updates to display the selected block's current number of rooms.
- Enter the number of rooms to transfer from the parent block to the new sub-block in the Room Inventory for Sub-Block table. The number of rooms for any particular date or type cannot exceed the number in the Parent Block Room Inventory table.
- Click Create Sub-Block to create the new sub-block and move the selected rooms from the parent block and to the new sub-block.
- The dashboard reports the updated room count for each block.
