Search bar

If required, you can ask the protel support team to configure a search bar that will allow you enter (part of) a guest's name to search for the guest. The search will return all reservations and guest profiles that match the search string. Alternatively, you can enter room numbers, reservation numbers or confirmation numbers to search for any matching records.

The search for mobile numbers, passport numbers and emails is also possible ( Version 2014.18.755 or later).
