Information
Guest Merge is a utility to maintain the database of Guest information and eliminate the occurrence of duplicate Guest Profiles with conflicting contact details.
A variety of Pattern Matches can be used to qualify Guest Profiles as matching and can be selected based on the Guest information captured at the property.
RMS will merge the information on a Guest Profile with the highest Guest ID into the Guest Profile with the lowest Guest ID when a match is determined.
This ensures the most recent contact details are kept whilst retaining the full history of the Guest at the property.
Pattern Matches are not case sensitive.
'J Smith' and 'j smith' will be merged if the additional selected Pattern Matches are the same.
Guest Merge will match a Mobile Number that has been entered with or without the country code in RMS.
An email will be sent to the System Administrator once the merge is completed.
Guest Profiles with Bank Account details that do not match will not be merged.
Guest Merges can take from several minutes up to several hours depending on the volume of Guest Profiles in the RMS Database and the frequency the Guest Merge utility is used.
The Auto Guest Merge will run daily in the background using the selected Pattern Match to regularly merge any duplicate Guest Profiles found in RMS.
Guest Profiles will merge active accounts for the same Property and keep active Accounts for any other property on the merged Guest Profile.
Auto Guest Merge is enabled by default to maintain Guest Profiles by matching them on Surname + Email Address.
Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
