The group status indicates the negotiation phase of the group contract. You set the status for follow-up purposes and to allow bookings to be made against the group contract.
There are three possible statuses for a group contract:
•Tentative - The meeting planner has not confirmed the group yet and consequently bookings cannot be received.
When a group contract is created, its status is automatically set to Tentative.
•Definite - The group is confirmed (e.g. a deposit has been received), so bookings can be received.
•Cancelled - The group is cancelled and is no longer active.
Your ability to change the group status depends upon your specific user permissions.
