If your organization still wants to utilize the Housing Reservations Guests record to store payment information for a hotel reservation, this appendix topic provides information on how to reconstruct the Housing Reservation Guests form to the layout to the original form template.

These instructions are for modifying the Housing Reservations Guest form included in the standard installation of Aptify.

Follow the steps below to re-add the payment control to the Housing Reservation Guests form:

1. Go to the Form Templates service and open the non-generated Housing Reservations Guests.Tabs.General form template with the lowest rank (1 by default).
   • This is the standard form template for the General tab of the Housing Reservation Guests form and is where the payment control was originally located.
     
     
2. Select the Part List tab.
   
   
3. Select the New icon in the Part List tab's toolbar, and then click the Part hyperlink on the Parts record to create a new form template part.
4. On the General tab, enter the following:
   • Name: Housing Reservation Guests.PaymentInformationID
   • Category: Housing Reservation Guests Form Parts 
   • Display Name: Housing Reservation Guests.PaymentInformationID
   • Type: Component
   • Form Component: Payment Information Control
   • Run Mode: All
   • Location: Specific
   • Enabled: Yes (selected)
     
     
5. Select the Input Map tab.

6. Configure the input properties for the form template part using the information from the table below.

   Input Property	Default Value	Required	Source Type	Source
   Data Field		False	Static Value	PaymentInformationID
   TypeToShow	All	True	Static Value	All
   ShowHideAccountNumber	USEDEFAULT	False	Static Value	USEDEFAULT
   TransactionControlsVisible	VISIBLE	False	Static Value	INVISIBLE

7. Save and close the Form Template Parts record.
8. Using the arrow buttons in the Part List tab's toolbar, move the Housing Reservation Guests.PaymentInformationID form template part just above the Housing Reservation Guests.Smoking part.
   • This step ensures the credit card fields are placed in the same location as the original form.

   1. Double-click the Form Templates Parts record you want to modify.
