This report displays the pace at which reservations are made prior to arrival for each hotel property within an event.
In addition, featured on these reports is a snapshot of the total number of confirmed reservations in the system at event cutoff and event start dates. The percentage wash is flexible and can be tailored by choosing from a list of comparison points.
To run the report:
Select an event by doing one of the following:
View the Selected Event banner below the Find Event row. The desired event may already be selected.
Use the Find Event drop-down list to search within your favorites or recently viewed events. Once selected, click the Find button to view events. Click on the desired event.
Choose By Event Name in the drop-down list, enter the name or partial name of the event then click Find. Click on the event name from the matching list of events.
Click on Advanced Search then enter search criteria in one or multiple fields. Partial names are allowed. Click Search. Click on the desired event from the list.
In Select a hotel, select all hotels or a specific hotel.
In Select Date Range, choose to see the reservations every 30 days, weekly, or Set Interval, which is 120, 90, 60, 45, 30, 21, 14 and 7 days prior to arrival.
In Compare and Compare To lists, choose to have the final column in the report show the difference between your selections as a percentage. The calculation used for any given selection is % Difference = [(Compare - Compare To)/Compare] x 100. Note that this value can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the data that is compared.
Click Generate Report.
NOTE: Historical report data is based on a snapshot and is refreshed on a 24 hour cycle, so it may take some time for new or updated reservation data to appear. To clarify:
Pick Up for Cutoff date - Includes pickup that happened before the cutoff date, so this data is available on the cutoff date
Event Start Date Pickup - Includes pickup for the Event Start Date, so this data is available the day after the Event Start Date
However, several data points are available in near real-time to help you monitor the event, including:
Current Block - Includes data from the day the report is run
Report Date Pick Up - Includes pickup from the day the report is run
