1. Hostel Configuration: This includes adding the details of the hostels, such as their names, hostel type, capacity, and available slots.
2. Block Configuration: Define the rates for each hostel block based on factors such as the type of room and occupancy and generate the number of rooms in a block.
3. Room Configuration: Gives the ability to create, edit and delete rooms in a block if need be. Rooms can only be created as long as there is an existing block. The description of the room can be either the room number or the name of the block the room is located in.
4. Bed-space Configuration: This is a Space in which an individual bed is or is intended to be placed, especially regarded as an area belonging to the bed's occupant. It allows the user to Add, Delete, and Update bed space.
