Reservation Link Setup

Purpose

If you are using a Reservation Link, this menu item is used to set the parameters that control the link.

Please note that this is an add-on module, and you must enter into a contractual agreement directly with the sending entity before this module can be implemented. There are also additional set-up requirements. Please see the Reservation Link Setup Guide.
