Rooming List

There are three sections to a Rooming List Message:

  1. Rooming List Section. Contains the name of the lists created in the booking.
  2. Room Section. Contains information about the rooms in each list.
  3. Room Name Section. Contains the information of the passengers assigned to each room.

Although rooming list messages are designed for group bookings, a rooming list can be output from Fastbook.

Since multiple rooming lists per booking may be required (i.e., different pax names having some services), it is necessary to ensure that the message is formatted correctly.

Rooming Lists are controlled by the use of three specific codes which must be entered into the message template, and the location of these codes determines whether multiple room lists or just one per booking will be output.

Three codes are used to indicate the sections of the Rooming List message.
