Multi-Window Feature: why and how to use It

Property Management System

The Multi-Window feature in HotelRunner PMS was developed to allow users to view and manage all folios created within a reservation simultaneously on a single screen.

This feature enables you to:

  • Easily manage postings, payments, extra items, and invoicing across multiple folios.
  • Quickly perform transfers of items between different folios.
  • Accelerate your workflow and reduce the risk of errors.

How to Use Multi-Window

1. Open the Folios Tab

  • Navigate to the Folios tab within the reservation screen.

2. Activate Multi-Window Mode

  • Click the “More” button at the top-right corner of the tab.
  • Select “Multi-Window” from the dropdown menu.

3. Add a New Folio (Optional)

  • In Multi-Window mode, click “Add Folio” at the top or side of the screen to create a new folio.
  • You can now view multiple folio screens simultaneously.

4. Transfer Items Between Folios

  • In the Multi-Window screen, you can multi-select items (postings, payments, extras, etc.) and drag-and-drop them from one folio to another.
  • This allows for faster management and correction of items.

5. Additional Actions

  • All actions available in the single folio view are also available in Multi-Window mode:
    • Add postings
    • Enter payments
    • Add extra items
    • Issue invoices
    • Select and delete empty folios if needed.

Advantages of Using Multi-Window

  • Time Saving: Managing multiple folios simultaneously is much faster than opening them one by one.
  • Reduced Errors: Transferring items between folios keeps accounts more organized.
  • Ease of Use: Monitoring all reservation accounts on a single screen simplifies workflows.
  • Better Reporting: A real-time view of multiple folios provides a clearer overview of the financial status.

This feature improves operational efficiency, especially during peak periods, by making it easier to manage and organize reservation account items in the front office.
