InnPlanner Interface

General information

InnPlanner interface is similar to MS Outlook, so if you have ever worked with MS Outlook before, it will be easier for you to master InnPlanner.

The main window of InnPlanner consists of two parts. In the left, there is a navigation panel which helps to select a folder (tool) you want to work with, for example calendar, room setup, customer database, etc. In the right (larger) part of the main window, the content of the selected folder is represented.

If the selected folder contains several records (for example room types, tariffs), then at the top part of the window you shall see available records in the form of a table, and at the bottom part - the selected record.

The folder may be an informational page, i.e. reservation calendar, greeting window, etc. In this case you may work with them as with a generic web-page right and left mouse clicking on the links:

Working with forms
