VERVIEW AND GENERAL LOGICA profile is a tool for tracking production and other information in Opera. There are seven types of profiles maintained within the Opera database. The seven types are similar, but modified to include fields for collecting information specific to each profile type. All Profiles include the name, addresses, communication methods and basic demographic data for each Profile type. These profiles are shared between PMS and S&C.
Please note that it is vital to always ensure data accuracy and to always search for an existing profile before a new one is entered into the system.
Every profile/account is defined as a unique booking location, e.g. if there are three different IBM locations that book with the property each one of those locations would be a separate account. They will then be linked together using the relationship functionality. This will allow the property to run reports based on individual IBM offices along with viewing production for all three IBM offices.
- Please keep in mind that we should not use Special Characters in Codes (exceptions are e.g. Floor Preferences)
2.
KEY BOARD NAVIGATIONThe tab key should be used to move from one field to another. This allows the system to take users where they need to go ensuring all fields are completed properly. To move back a field, use the Shift + Tab.
To open up drop down menus (LOVs) or ellipse buttons use the F9 key. To enter a checkmark in a field, use the space bar.
Users may also use the Shortcut Keys: Throughout the application, there are Shortcut Keys that allow for keyboard navigation instead of using the mouse. These keys are underlined letters and can be accessed by pressing the ALT key and the underlined letter.
To copy and paste in Opera, mark the entry, use CTRL + C to copy, CTRL + V to paste and CTRL + X to cut.

YPES OF PROFILESThe seven types of profiles are listed below: Company profiles
All corporate and special corporate companies. For Opera S&C, a company is the most common type of profile. It is for any type of company.

Travel Agent profiles
All accounts which could receive commission, either with or without IATA number. Travel agent profiles are used to pay commissions and for tracking production statistics by travel agency. Intermediaries receiving commissions can also be entered as Travel agencies
Source profiles
All accounts which could also receive commission, but are different to ‘regular’ travel agents. These profiles could be Event Agencies, Wholesaler or also Key Account Offices from hotel chains. Some hotel chains also use this type of profile as their company profile and the ‘Company’ profile type only for Master profiles. The use of the source profile differs from hotel to hotel and has to discussed how or if to use it at all or is defined by chain standards.

Vendor profiles
The profile type ‘Vendor’ gives you the possibility to maintain your suppliers of the hotel. These could be flower, decoration or Audio Visual companies where the hotel receives its supplies. This profile type cannot be used to track production.
In total, there are 7 profiles types in Opera S&C – additional to the above mentioned 4 account profile types there are:
Contact profiles
These are best used for tracking specific contact production. While contacts might not be hotel guests, it is important to register their address and telephone numbers for soliciting future business. Whenever a contact profile is created, Opera S&C will automatically create an individual profile as well.

EAME OPERA S&C APPLICATION PROFILES
Individual profiles
The individual profile is for a Hotel guest and contains their personal information.
Group profiles
These profiles link reservations to groups. They also assist in routing charges and tracking production per group. The Group Profile is automatically created when a business block is created.

ANAGEMENTCustomer Management contains all necessary information to maintain accounts and contacts. This is where all production information is tracked. It is the activities and scheduling hub for S&C. This is also where the Sales Rep Dashboard is located, which is a centralized area to view and initiate many sales related activities. Potential gives the hotel the possibility to track the possible production an account could have and their detailed booking preferences and patterns. Outlook/Groupwise provides the access to synchronization between Opera and Outlook or Groupwise, here contacts and activities can be synchronized between the Outlook / Groupwise of the user and Opera.

CCOUNTIn Sales & Catering the profiles are divided into Account and Contact Profiles. The Account button gives you access to Company, Travel Agent, Source and Vendor Profiles. The account profile is the starting point for accessing
comprehensive information about your business associations. The account provides a window on Sales information and statistics, relationships, preferences, negotiated rates, and other details relevant to the client. The Account screen also lets you set up and manage activities and contacts for the account, and create and edit business blocks.
From the main menu, select Customer Management>Accounts. The Account Search screen appears.
Use this screen to search for existing accounts, to create new accounts, and to access contacts, activities, business blocks, and other information related to accounts.
Indicator Lamps
Lamps (indicators or notations) may appear in the lower part of the screen to alert you about information that pertains to the account.
Search Criteria
Enter your search criteria and select the Search button.
Certain search criteria fields will only display results when information is selected in another search criteria field. The Account City field will not return any results, unless the other information is entered, such as the whole Account Name or complete Account ID number. In case the account name is not known or you would like to see all accounts in a specific city, use the % sign as a wild card when searching for a value. The % can also be used if a user knows of an account in the system but can only remember that it has the word National in it, the user could enter %National in the name and this will show all the accounts with National in the Account Name. This is not case sensitive and it is not mandatory to type the entire name to find the account.
Europe, Africa & Middle East
EAME OPERA S&C APPLICATION PROFILES
Account Name. Type the account name you are searching for. At least the first three letters are required when searching for an account, but there is no character limit that can be entered. Also, use the % to search for all accounts. Account ID. This is the unique system generated ID number for the account. The whole number must be entered to find the correct account.
Account City. Type the name of the city associated with the account you are searching for. Search for all Accounts in a specific City, by entering the City name in Account City field, and % in Account Name field.
View By. Select the down-arrow to choose a specific type of account to search for. Options include View All (the default), or company, travel agent, source, or vendor.
IATA/Corporate ID. Type the IATA number (for a travel agent) or a corporate ID associated with the account you are searching for.
Business Segment. Select the down-arrow to choose the business segment(s) associated with the accounts you are
searching for. You can choose one or more market segments for the search. Country. Country where the company listed on the account is located.
No Relationships. Select this option to exclude from search results any accounts that have a relationship to another account as a subsidiary itself.
This option only displays, when the Account Search screen is called by selecting the New button from the Profile Relationships screen (Accounts>Edit>Options>Relationships).The logic behind this option is to provide a means to search for accounts that are already considered a master (master to subsidiary) or a regular account (no relationships). However, in the event that a subsidiary must be attached to an account that is also a subsidiary of another account (e.g. relationship models with more than 2 levels), this flag must be unchecked in order to make other subsidiaries visible. The reverse is also valid, for instance, to make an account a master the assumption is that it should be a master of regular accounts and not set as a 'higher' master over existing masters (master to master) and therefore other master accounts are filtered out by the flag unless it gets unchecked.
Owner. Select the down-arrow to choose the sales manager owner(s) of the account(s) you are looking for. You can choose one or more owners for the search.
Keyword. Enter a keyword specific to the account you are searching for. (Available when the Profiles>Keyword application function is set to Y.)
Communication. Different information can be entered into this search field. Partial phone numbers or email addresses may be entered that are associated to the contact. For example, if the user is searching for a contact that has the phone number 123-4567 associated with it, they could search on the whole or partial number. Same with email addresses, the whole or partial email address can be entered to search for contacts.
AR Number. Enter the accounts receivable number assigned to the account you are searching for.
Active Only. Select this check box to search for active accounts only. Otherwise, the search will find both active and inactive accounts.
Has Subsidiaries. Select the check box to search and display only the accounts that have subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are accounts that are part of another master or parent account. Usually it refers to companies that are wholly controlled by another or other companies.
Filter Name. Select the down arrow to choose a pre-configured filter to assist your search. Or, select the ellipsis button to create new filters and edit existing filters. (Available when the General>Filter Search application function is set to Y.) Postal Code Range. Enter in the postal code range to display the accounts that fall within the two postal codes. If only the starting postal code is entered, then all postal codes from that one entered will be displayed in the results. And if only the second postal code is entered, then all postal codes up to the one entered will be returned in the results.
When the Country field does not have a country selected in it, then the postal code range still displays, but is not accessible.

The search results are displayed in this grid. The following fields of information are provided:

relationships, then hyperlinks to the Master and Parent Companies are displayed in the header. Select these links to display the account information for that particular Master and Parent company.
When a circular relationship has occurred with account relationships, a message is displayed to warn the user of this. A circular relationship occurs when, for example, Company A has a relationship setup with Company 1A where Company A is the Master and Company 1A is the subsidiary.
