Regardless of the access rights set up for the user and the Room Viewtab selected, the upper part of the Room View (Figure 4-2) is the samefor all tabs. The Room View contains the room number (Room 1205)in the title bar, the Central Interface (CI) Network address (1:12:5),and a description if one was entered. Below the room description thename of the guest currently checked into the room (Mr. SamuelAdams) appears.

Table 4-1 describes the Room View Title Bar fields.
