Use the change system-parameters hospitality command to define whether the
housekeeping staff will use IDs, and to administer the housekeeping status
definitions.
On Page 1, the Number of Housekeeper ID Digits field determines the
length of the housekeeping staff ID numbers. Valid entries are 0 to 6. If set to 0,
housekeeping IDs are not used.
On Page 2, enter the definitions for each room state. The status for each of these
must be coordinated with what is administered in the PMS.
