Reviews displayed on the product data sheets can now include the reviews of all the products linked to the same hotel. If the hotel itself has reviews, they too will be displayed.
A “Linked review” label has been added to the review blocks not pertaining directly to the product in question.
The various averages take these new reviews into account when this function is activated.
When creating a pre-package the outward and return flights can now be managed independently.
This makes it possible to :
So there are two types of transport service in a pre-package :
In the example below, a pre-package is configured with an outward trip to Barcelona, with the internal transport source :
Then a return trip is added departing from Madrid, with the Ypsilon source :
After the accommodation has been added, the list of pre-package elements will be as follows :
On the reservation process, the flights are combined and any services related to low-cost flights (especially baggage) are prefixed with the flight concerned. In this case, if the internal source returns a GDS flight for the outward flight and the Ypsilon source returns a low-cost flight for the return flight, the following quote will be displayed :
In the details of each flight, the following information will be shown :
Finally, the flight information will be saved in the folder created in the Back Office, in the section “Trip details” :
The periods defined in the pre-packages can now be sliding. A sliding period tick-box has been added to the period creation process. If this box is ticked, then every night the period will be moved back by one day. For example, if a pre-package is created or modified on 15 July 2015 with a period starting on 1 September 2015 and ending on 30 September 2015, the period will slide by one day every day :
The tick-box is located in the period being created or modified, in the pre-package management pop-up :
The internal insurance options now make it possible to configure insurance policies applicable only to products without transport.
The costs and reductions can now be configured to specify whether the producers associated with the rules defined are included or excluded.
This is selected via the interface below :
Previously, producers added to this list were systematically included, which meant that the rule applied to the products of the selected producers.
Now, if the user ticks the “Excluded” box, the rule will apply for all producers, except for those selected in the list.
As on the catalogue product data sheet, the passenger restrictions are now checked in the “New search” form for the new booking process.
When making a partial payment (instalment), the customer can now pay the full transport amount, as well as a percentage on the remaining amount.
The SSL/HTTPS protocol can now be activated from the first steps of the booking processes. The entire booking process is compatible. A configuration is required to activate this mode.
It is now possible to add a comment for any type of payment or reimbursement created in the Back Office.
For this purpose, a new “Comments” section has been added at the bottom of the payment creation/modification pop-in.
This comment will then be visible in the payments made table :
Automatic payments also have the option of these comments. These comments can be modified when editing an automatic payment.
Just as for package quotes, hotel booking quotes can now be retrieved in Back Office for finalisation purposes.
Jet tours products without transport are now available on the Orchestra platform.
