| Add New Itinerary Components | We have introduced additional component options when creating itineraries. These include Car hire, Transfers, Excursions, Escorted Tours, Rail and Cruise (short cruise tours). When you hit 'New Component' within an itinerary, you will see the pop up below.
Each of the components have their own individual pop ups containing the relevant information on each. CAR HIRE : Pick up and drop off point are free text entry. Heading is the name given to the component, ie Car Hire from JFK'. Supplier is chosen from a dropdown. (which is managed by your administrator in Business Tools.). All fields apart from 'Heading' are optional. If a field is not used nothing will be shown for that data field.  TRANSFERS : All as per Car Hire functionality with the addition of a 'Duration'.

New Component icons | New icons have been created for each of the new components above and will be added automatically to the itinerary. Flights, Accommodation, Transfers, Ticket or excursion, Cruise/Ferry, Rail, Car Hire, Leisure day or other         |
Allow manual ordering of quote legs | On previous versions the itinerary was always dictated by the date and time of the itinerary component. The default now is that remains as the itinerary being ordered by date and time, however you can now manually drag and drop components and re-order as required. You do this by clicking on and holding the 'edit' icon in the top right corner of each itinerary item and anywhere within the chosen component leg and holding, then dragging that to the required position within the enquiry. If you wish that the itinerary is ordered using the previous method of to return to date and time order on that itinerary, there is a blue box located at the top of the itinerary, where you can simply click on the 'here' link to order by that method.

| Addition of Supplier management in Business Tools | Within quote components there are now 'supplier' dropdowns for certain types such as car hire, rail, excursions etc. These can be managed by each customer using 'Supplier Manager' which lives under Business Tools > Platform Settings > General.  To add a supplier simply click on 'Add Supplier' and you will be shown the pop up below . Add supplier name, description is optional and choose the supplier type to ensure it appears in the correct dropdowns.
|
Addition of File Manager | We have added File Manager under Business Tools which allows you to create folders and upload images into relevant folders. To Create folders simply click 'Create Folder' and it will create a new folder for the area you are in, be that the root or within a folder. A breadcrumb is displayed at the top left to indicate where you are in the structure. Example : Current Folder: /Quote Images/Transfers/Plane Transfers/
