Connect to Your Booking

Select 'Connect' and your mapping screen containing all your services for that booking will open. 

Link Bookings

Create one itinerary using multiple bookings. Under the "Link Bookings" header, you can select the bookings you'd like to link. 

The bookings you are linking together will appear within the "Connect" space, you can then click on "Connect" to enter the itinerary builder. 

NB - Please ensure that merged bookings follow the correct date sequence. Example: Booking one end date: 1st March, Booking two start date: 2nd March. 

The 'Mapping' Column will show what the services are mapped as (i.e. accommodation, activities). If all services are mapped, a green proceed option will appear on the top right-hand side. 

If there are services that still need to be mapped, the 'Mapping' Column will show 'Map Now' and there will be an orange Skip option on the top right-hand side. By selecting the 'Map Now' next to each service line you will be able to map the services. This document will give you more information on mapping your services. 

Itinerary Created Screen

Once all services are mapped and you have selected either the green Proceed or the orange skip option, the system will generate your itinerary and the Itinerary Created Screen will open allowing you to enter into the Itinerary Builder.
