Booking Comments (Optional)

General Comments

Staff can write any comments that wish to add for the booking. These comments are included in the Passenger Confirmation PDF, Tour and Bus Manifests for the Operator.
Online Agents and consumer bookings also have the ability to write comments from the public website which can populate in this section of an exisiting booking.

If the Operator has frequently used comments that are added by Staff users to many bookings daily, then create a custom list of quick-to-use default comments. See Default Comments Lookup. In the example below it is currently greyed out because no default comments have been configured.

If the Default Comments have been configured, click on Choose a default Comment button:

Search for the Default Comment using type-ahead or from the dropdown list.

Select a Default Comment and it is appended to the General Comment

Voucher Comments

Voucher Comments are only allowed to be entered in the staff User Interface, meaning only staff can make comments. These comments can be included on Vouchers (IE. Gift Voucher) that are issued to passengers.
