Templates are very important as they allow the creation of personalized invoices, email confirmations , registration cards, folio etc.
+
With templates you can adjust and personalize the view of the following:
  
−
They include a layout and some sort of fields that are automatically populated by the system.
+
* e-mails about reservations (confirmation e-mail, instructions on how to get to the property, "thank you" e-mail etc.)
 +
* Invoices (including receipts, payment receipts, credit invoices)
 +
* Registration card (including similar forms, such as the ones for police authorities)
 +
* Folio
 +
* ...
  
−
So, a user has the idea that the email sent to him is personalized and written manually while, in reality, it is composed automatically by the system.

Every activated language can be connected to various templates. In the example, only the English language is activated, so the respective templates are appeared.
 +
 
 +
===Templates Related to Invoicing===
 +
The "invoice", "credit invoice" and "receipt" are related to invoicing.
 +
 
 +
At this step of the invoicing procedure, the system requests the template to be defined.

−
RESERVATION
+
When a template is selected, it is automatically populated by the system with data like the name, address etc.
  
−
The new template can be seen in the list. It can also been seen through the reservation window
+
This receipt has no legal validity. It is just a proof of receiving money.
  
 +
==How to Edit the Content of a Template==
 +
The formatting of the template content is possible by using the tools given by the system.
  
−
Most of the types of templates can be seen through the reservation window or calendar
+
First of all, there are the standard formatting buttons -like included in Microsoft Word- that allow, for example the letters to be bold, the alignment in the center etc. If a user feels comfortable with HTML code, then he/she can go to '''View ⇒ Source Code''' and make any change in the window that opens.
  
 +
[[File:Source code.png|600px]]
  
−
If you go in a reservation, click on tab email, and then in template field are included all the templates including the one that just created.  
+
By clicking "Ok" the changes are reflected directly to the template content.
  
−
the template is populated automatically by the system with data like the name, address etc.  
+
[[File:Source code code.png|600px]]
  
  
−
what ever is formatted like {{  }} is actually a field
+
Every template type has its own family or set of fields that allow the system to retrieve the information needed depending on the case.
  
−
every template has its own family or set of fields
+
For example, in a reservation e-mail, if it is typed:
  
 +
:"Dear Mr. '''<nowiki>{{firstname}} {{lastname}}</nowiki>''', your reservation is confirmed."
  
−
Templates under "Invoice/ receipt"-- INVOICE/ RECEIPT
+
the result can be:
  
 +
:"Dear Mr. '''Michael Willson''', your reservation is confirmed"
  
−
PAYMENT RECEIPT templates are included in payment tab in the reservation.
+
Sometimes, a field can have '''nested''' fields. If a field is followed by a block surrounded with '''curly braces''' ( '''{...}''' ), then, it has nested fields.  
  
 +
In order to access a nested field, dot (.) notation should be used, like in the example below:
  
−
click on payment tab, and make a new payment, click on save
+
:"Dear Mr. '''<nowiki>{{customer.firstname}} {{customer.lastname}}</nowiki>''', your reservation is confirmed."
  
−
then click on the payment line , click on receipt button and a new window opens
+
A field can also represent an array. If a field's name is followed by '''double brackets''', then it is an array of set of other fields, which are listed in the following block denoted by curly braces.
  
 +
In such cases, we have to use the index and access the '''set of fields'''. Example is given below for accessing price of reservation for Folio.
  
−
template : select from the drop down list
+
:"Price of the reservation is '''{{reservations[0].price}}'''"
  
−
counter select from the drop down list
+
Note, that every field is followed by a semicolon and the self-description, except for the ones with nested fields.
  
 +
There are two sets of reservation fields, depending on whether the reservation is single or it's part of a group of reservations:

=== Reservation (Single) ===

With templates you can adjust and personalize the view of the following:

  • e-mails about reservations (confirmation e-mail, instructions on how to get to the property, "thank you" e-mail etc.)
  • Invoices (including receipts, payment receipts, credit invoices)
  • Registration card (including similar forms, such as the ones for police authorities)
  • Folio
  • ...

Accessing Templates

Accessing templates can be done through:

Options⇒ Settings⇒ Templates

Tem list en.png

In this list, there are some templates already registered by the system. The type of the template is displayed in the 3rd column ("Type").

New template: Is used for creating a new template.

Show filter: Is used for searching templates in the list, using the available filters.

Creating a New Template

A new template can be created by following these steps:

Options⇒ Settings⇒ Templates⇒ New template

Tem new en.png

1. Title: The name of the template should be inserted in this field.

2. Template type : It defines what kind of template will be created. Further details are included in the table below.

3. Language: The correct selection of the language ensures that the recipient of the template (invoice, email etc) will understand the content.

4. Subject: It is valid only in case that a template is used for emails, e.g. "thank you for your stay" etc.

5. Content: This is the main part of the template. Formatting is possible using the standard formatting buttons like included in Microsoft Word. If the view is limited, the button "full screen" shows a larger view.

6. Ok: To save the registration.

Template Types
Reservation It is related to a reservation and it is used for emails e.g. confirmation of the reservation,"thank you" e-mail,

instructions how to come to the hotel etc.

Reservation cancellation It is related to a reservation and it is used for emails e.g. confirmation of the cancelled reservation, instructions on deposit refunds etc.
Invoice This is a standard layout with fields that should include specific information for invoicing, e.g. the counter,customer's billing

information, various taxes applied etc.

Receipt This is a similar concept to invoice but used only in Greece.
Payment receipt This is a similar concept to invoice but used only in Greece.
Tax receipt This is a similar concept to invoice but used only in Greece for issuing tourism taxes (enviromental tax).
Reservation request This is related to the e-mail that is automatically generated by the booking engine. It is called "request" because the reservations coming from the

booking engine have to be confirmed by the hotelier or the property manager first.

Registration card This is a kind of form given to the customer to sign and accept the terms of the property e.g. any damage takes place, the customer

is liable for.

Credit invoice It belongs to the invoicing documents used to credit or return money to the customer.
Credit receipt This is a similar concept to credit invoice but used only in Greece. It does not apply to other countries.
Folio It is a hotel business term that includes the total amount of the charges that a customer should pay so far. It is like a proforma

invoice. For example, a customer has scheduled to stay in a hotel for 10 nights and the 5th one he wants to know what is the total

amount he owes for extra charges, minibar etc. This template will include these charges.

Use of Templates

The "reservation request" template type is used for the e-mails that are sent automatically by the Booking Engine.

They include the reservation information that is useful to the customers.

Options⇒ Booking Engine⇒ E-mail

Tem be en.png

Every activated language can be connected to various templates. In the example, only the English language is activated, so the respective templates are appeared.

Templates Related to Invoicing

The "invoice", "credit invoice" and "receipt" are related to invoicing.

At this step of the invoicing procedure, the system requests the template to be defined.

Tem credit 1 en.png

When the template is selected from the drop-down list, it is automatically populated by the system with the predefined data.

Templates Related to Payments

Tem res rec en.png

In the tab "Payments", a payment should be selected (1) and then the "2. Receipt" button should be clicked.

Tem res rec 2 en.png

In this window the system requests the template to be defined.

When a template is selected, it is automatically populated by the system with data like the name, address etc.

This receipt has no legal validity. It is just a proof of receiving money.

How to Edit the Content of a Template

The formatting of the template content is possible by using the tools given by the system.

First of all, there are the standard formatting buttons -like included in Microsoft Word- that allow, for example the letters to be bold, the alignment in the center etc. If a user feels comfortable with HTML code, then he/she can go to View ⇒ Source Code and make any change in the window that opens.

Source code.png

By clicking "Ok" the changes are reflected directly to the template content.

Source code code.png


Every template type has its own family or set of fields that allow the system to retrieve the information needed depending on the case.

For example, in a reservation e-mail, if it is typed:

"Dear Mr. {{firstname}} {{lastname}}, your reservation is confirmed."

the result can be:

"Dear Mr. Michael Willson, your reservation is confirmed"

Sometimes, a field can have nested fields. If a field is followed by a block surrounded with curly braces ( {...} ), then, it has nested fields.

In order to access a nested field, dot (.) notation should be used, like in the example below:

"Dear Mr. {{customer.firstname}} {{customer.lastname}}, your reservation is confirmed."

A field can also represent an array. If a field's name is followed by double brackets, then it is an array of set of other fields, which are listed in the following block denoted by curly braces.

In such cases, we have to use the index and access the set of fields. Example is given below for accessing price of reservation for Folio.

"Price of the reservation is {{reservations[0].price}}"

Note, that every field is followed by a semicolon and the self-description, except for the ones with nested fields.

There are two sets of reservation fields, depending on whether the reservation is single or it's part of a group of reservations:

Reservation (Single)
