Being able to combine multiple reports in a custom user Report
Having to only build, save to pdf and email 1 report instead of 6 at the end of the day would be a huge time saver.
This could be saved with a custom name under a row in reports titled 'user'Another suggestion i have seen is to be able to email reports straight from the Report section.
these 2 things combined would significantly improve the workflow of reporting.

Mobile check in
With mobile devices being the most carried item by both business and leisure guests we need to be able to let guests 'check in' (groups excluded) before arriving. Most other big software providers already have this. By checking in before arrival - it almost creates an 'express' check in at the front desk where the guest has already pre-filled the registration card, provided cc details and accepted the T&C...all that's left is to collect the key.

More characters for SMS's
At present SMS correspondence is restricted to 160 characters, per SMS, we struggle to fit lock box and property info into a 160 characters message.
if you exceed 160 characters the message is sent via multiple messages, which can be confusing for the guest.4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
The 160 characters per charged SMS is a GSM standard used by all service providers and not a limitation implemented by RMS.
RMS 9+ has the ability to create SMS templates that will extend beyond the single message of 160 characters with a counter in the bottom right for users to keep track of their character count.
The delivery of multi-part SMS is determined by the service provider and mobile device and may result in several messages when going over 160 characters.

Group Rooming List
We need a simple group rooming list that we can hand to out to our guests. It should not have any rates on it as these may be confidential.
It just needs the name of the group on the top.
Underneath we just need GIVEN NAME, LAST NAME and in a separate column ROOM NUMBER. It should sort in LAST NAME. This is nelpful for the tour leader and the members of the group to find each other.4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available in RMS 9+ on the Area tab is an option to generate an Area List. This works as a Group Room List and can be built to exclude displaying Rate information, be grouped by Category or sorted by Surname or Area with additional options to include bed configuration or Hide the Area.

restricting RMS prompts
"Please allow us more options with regards to choosing whether we receive the following prompts:
""only vacant dirty and vacant inspect status will be set to clean. Are you sure you want to set the selected rooms to clean?""
""would you like to recalculate the rate?"" - generally this pops up if the dynamic rates have changed since the time of the booking... In this case, we never want to do so! Sometimes we need to recalculate so this message should only come up under those circumstances. Eg. not pop up if you are selecting a room or making minimal…

Projected balance needed, when the system works off Nightly Tariff
When the system works on nightly tariff, the nightly rates are added to the reservation each night.
Currently there is no way to see the full amount, and what the total amount payable is when printing invoices, statements, receipts etc.
A 'Projected Balance' is needed in these places, so if a customer pays in full on check-in, they can see the total value matches the amount they have paid.

Tariff / Availability Chart - Ability to view total property occupancy as a figure and percentage
It would be very handy to see the sum of all room types displayed as a figure and percentage for each day at the top or bottom of this chart. This would help highlight busy and quite periods for the entire property and not just room types.
The option to highlight 100% occupancy for both room types and days would be great.
Thanks
4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available in RMS 9+ both on the Rate Manager & Availability Chart are occupancy views that will display occupancy for either the Property or Category depending on the option selected in Setup > Property Options > Property Information.

Enhance the RMS emails sent for Booking.com bookings. They need more information
Currently these emails provide no information on the change that has taken place.
The emails need to clearly state the original booking details, the modifications that have been made, and a credit card number if the credit card has been updated in Booking.com.
If the guest has updated their credit card details, this new card needs to integrate into RMS.
Also, the subject line is the same for all "Booking.com Modification". This means the emails become grouped as one email in our email accounts. The Booking ID should be in the subject line to make the emails unique.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available from RMS are Booking.com modification emails that includes the original Guest Name, Arrive & Depart Dates as well as the individual fields that have been modified and what they were changed to.

To be able to email a rooming list directly from RMS
It would so much easier and less time consuming if we were able to email a group rooming list directly from RMS instead of having to build a rooming list, export it, then open an email program, and send an email by attaching the file. It is all well and good that this is able to be done in RMS9+ but we aren't using RMS9+.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available in RMS 9+ is the ability to email the Area List from the Group Reservation by selecting ‘Email’ on the build screen.
On a Group Reservation, navigate to the Area tab, select the ‘Area List’ button and choose the options required. From this build screen, select ‘Email’ to send instead of printing.

If a discount is entered on the group master, this needs to be reflected to all attached siblings
If a discount is entered on the group master, this needs to be reflected to all attached siblings, it is so time consuming to enter a discount into 80 attached rooms.

Be able to print a registration card for all guests, not just the primary guest.
This is a MUST at this property. In RMS 8, it would print a registration card for each guest, not just the primary guest. We ask all guests to sign in over the weekend, so having to manually print each registration card is very time consuming.
Thank you.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS 9+.
The Bulk Registration Card Utility in RMS 9+ provides the option to print a Registration Card for each occupant on a reservation or only the primary guest.

Triggered Correspondence Idea for specific Travel Agents
Quick question. I had an idea over triggered correspondence. Our office has a focus this year of converted more phone enquires and promoting our Quest website whilst decreasing the cost of mitigation with third party websites, such as Wotif or booking.com.
Within triggered correspondence we had the idea of setting up a generic email that could go to reservations that have been made through specific travel agents such as booking.com?
Is there any way that this function could be added into the triggered correspondence field? Using the Travel Agent field in the reservation or the Market or submarket fields with…

'Hot deal' or "flames" to highlight sale periods on RMS online booking page.
Just like 'Wotif'' and other sites can we have our booking page online tariff results highlighted when we reduce our tariff for a short period of time as in a sale. So prospective guests can see they are getting a bargain.

Cancelation email-listing property name
A cancelation comes through. The email notification has no property name on it, only booking reference number and source of booking. We have to go into reservation (we are not always in office so accessing on iPhone is very limited anyway) to find property then cancel other sites they do not connect to RMS.

Currently available from the RMS Channel Manager, cancellation emails will include the Property Name in the subject line of the email for easier identification.
