Media source codes are attached to reservations or events to collate data for your reports. A media source reports on how a guest has heard about you. Online reservations will come in attached to a pre-defined media source code either for each channel or a generic code for online.
If you use Standard Conference & Banqueting, a media source code will show in both Rezlynx and Conference & Banqueting. If you use Advanced Conference & Banqueting, you need to select the code to use in Conference & Banqueting.
