Using the Guest Card Reservation Board

Another unique feature eSite offers to corporate housing users is the Reservation Board. This function is added to the standard Guest Cards option and is a tool that quickly matches an individual inquiring about a lease with a unit that meets their specific requirements. It can also be used to input search criteria to perform manual searches and to jump directly to the application and move-in tabs necessary to enter a lease application.

If you plan to search available units by report code, then those report codes must already have been set up in the Standard Property. For setup instruction, refer to the Report Codes Tab for more information.

With the property type set to 4–Corporate Housing, the Reservation Board can be accessed from either the Leasing or Inquiry menus.

Access from the Leasing Menu

Follow instructions for Enter a New Guest Card with Searchand complete the requested information.
When you click the Save button, the system automatically displays the Reservation Board listing all units with a Vacant Available status that have been set up as corporate housing units.

Access from the Inquiry Menu

Make these selections from the eSite menu: Inquiry, Reservation Board. The Reservation Board Tab displays.

The Reservation Board is divided into two separate segments, the unit selection list showing the Vacant Available units and a field list used to enter a variety of search criteria. Units in the Corporate Housing property have a Reserve column displayed in the selection list and when selected opens a blank lease application. Enter an application for the corporate housing unit to begin the lease process without having to leave the current tab. Units without a Reserve icon are not corporate housing units; lease applications cannot be entered for these units.
