Overview
Lookups are lists created and maintained by a Staff User. Once created, they can be used as type-ahead and dropdown lists throughout ResPax booking forms and maintenance screens.
The Agent Category list comes empty by default.
A Staff User can add custom data to the list and then group Agents into these Agent Types. Common uses may include: Visit Schedules (weekly, monthly, annually), or Parent Companies (List of OTA’s booking via RON API), or Belongs to Wholesaler( X, Y, Z). Each Agent in ResPax can belong to only one Agent Type.
As well as Agent Categories, ResPax also supports Agent Types.
Each Agent in ResPax can belong to one Agent Category AND one Agent Type.
Both of these groups can be used in Reporting, and both can have prices set to the group.
