Room Boards provide an at-a-glance view of the current day’s room assignments. New Room Boards must be created on ALICE Desktop (web) and allow housekeeping staff to:
View room details
Manage staff workload
Prioritize rooms
🔐 User Type & Roles
To perform this action in ALICE, the user must have at least Employee User Type access.
The user must also have the following settings within “Roles” enabled”
Access to “Rooms” tab.
Access to “Edit” Assignments and Priorities under Rooms (Room Assignment).
Things to Consider
Room attendants must be added as ALICE users and added as Room Attendants in ALICE Admin prior to adding boards. Room attendants will not be available in the “Manage Staff” menu if these steps are missed. Contact a Hotel Admin on property to configure. (Learn more, Add Room Attendant)
Locations and Location Groups must be configured before Room Boards can be added.
Room Boards can be created manually by selecting rooms from the unassigned section or created automatically using Autopilot.
The “Manage Staff” button can be used to add or remove room attendants from the day’s boards.
When adding Connecting Rooms or Virtual Suites (BETA) to a Room Board, each component room and Virtual Suite room will be a separate room with distinct credits and tasks. If they are in a connected state, the interlocking rings icon will display.
Error messages will appear if:Rooms are double assigned.
Connecting rooms are assigned to the same board.
A Virtual Suite without a reservation is assigned to a room board.
For virtual suites, the reservation will appear both on the virtual suite, as well as the component connecting rooms. For example, if there a Virtual Suite is “Due-In”, the component connecting rooms will also display “Due-In”.
