Highlight the OWS group and then select the Settings option button to configure the available OWS settings.

The following Application Settings are available:

FETCH RESERVATION - This setting allows the OPERA Web Suite engine to retrieve reservation for either all reservations, regardless of entry point or for only created through OWS. The available values are ALL and WEB. At the property level, when the application setting is set to ALL, OPERA will search reservations. When the setting is defined as WEB, OPERA will search reservations for which the channel type is WEB.

OWS ACCT LOCK TIMEOUT - This setting value will determine how long an OWS user account will be locked for. The value is in minutes.
