Solidres operations guide

For: hotel owners and front-desk staff
System: Joomla 6 with Solidres 4.7
Purpose: carry out regular work safely—not replace your property's policies, payment rules, or accounting advice.

Use this guide for day-to-day bookings and oversight. Read Safety checks before changing availability, money, or guest records.

The booking hierarchy​

Category
└── Property
└── Room type
└── Individual room(s)
  • Category groups properties—for example, a brand or destination.
  • Property is the accommodation business or location guests book.
  • Room type is the sellable kind of accommodation, such as “Double Sea View.” It sets capacity, features, and rates.
  • Room is the actual physical unit allocated to a guest, such as room 204. Several rooms can share one room type.

Reservations connect a customer, dates, rooms, prices, extras, payments, and status. A rate plan tells Solidres what a room type costs and when it can be booked. A block closes availability without creating a guest reservation.

A note about add-ons​

This guide covers the current official add-ons installed for this site. The legacy Complex Tariff and Statistics features are not used: Rate Plan replaces Complex Tariff, and Reports replaces Statistics. Screens and options can differ if an add-on is disabled or its licence has expired.

Accommodation reservations and Experience reservations are separate records, with their own statuses, origins, reports, and payment history. Do not assume changing one changes the other.

Reading a procedure​

Each live procedure gives you a check before you act and a check afterwards. Solidres is this property's source of truth. Stop and ask the site administrator if the screen, labels, or result differs from the guide—especially when it affects bookings, prices, payments, invoices, or availability.
