Database Setup
SmartSpace automatically imports some of your database information, for example, the names of your function rooms. In Database Setup you complete this information so that it reflects the unique characteristics of your business. Analysing data, forecasting demand, and setting the best possible pricing strategy depend on an optimal Database Setup.
Additionally, you need quality data from your Sales and Catering system
The system that you use to manage the bookings for your function rooms. Also known as a diary management, or meetings and events reservation system. Examples include Delphi and Opera.. Therefore, review the best practices for data entry.
Database Setup consists of the following tabs:
- Function Rooms: define characteristics like size and attendee capacity and whether to use the room for metrics like occupancy.
- Pre-select display options: select what data SmartSpace displays in reports and dashboards, for example, to exclude bookings for house-use meetings.
- Settings: basic configurations, for example, which currency you use.
- Budget / Forecast: optional configuration if you want to monitor actual business on books compared to your own budget and forecast.
- Team Member: select which of your team members are active or inactive.
- Merge Function Room: choose rooms that you want to merge to reflect changes at your property.
