Hours of Operation

Defining an hours of operation value allows you to define the hours that a particular type of resource is available at a particular property. You can define different hours of operation values for a particular resource type at properties or in regions. For example, pool cars may be available in Chicago from 8:00am to 10:00pm, but may only available in Los Angeles from 8:00am to 6:00pm.

  1. Open the Administration Menu page.
