Buttonbar segments code#

One objective must be to ensure that the maintenance of the message formats should be kept as simple as possible-in other words, obtain the text from (e.g.) Itinerary Segments and one note category as opposed to obtaining it from multiple note categories depending on service type. The most important aspect of creating message formats (of either type) that are to be used as itineraries is that the location of the text to be used in the message must be carefully thought through.As with Itinerary message types, language codes can be used with Booking Agent Messages and PCM Agent Messages. Similarly, a specific Itinerary message type does not have to be created-Booking Agent or PCM Agent message types can be used. Product Note Text can be used in lieu of Itinerary segments. This means that the use of the Itinerary Segments is not essential to be able to output itinerary documents. There is more one area where text can be written which can be included in itineraries.

The language code can also be used separate different styles of itinerary-e.g., a short format itinerary that for example, may accompany quotations, and a long format itinerary which is used for bookings.

(Setting up Foreign Language Translations, Language Codes is in the System Setup Introduction section of this guide and Itinerary Message Format setup is in the Messaging Setup Section of this guide). An Itinerary Message format can be set up (with the standard text being in the foreign language) and when outputting an Itinerary, it is a case of selecting the itinerary message format of the language that is to be output, or letting the system choose, based on the language code attached to the agent.

Itinerary Segments can be written in different languages and a translation table can be set up in which standard system output-days of the week months of the year etc.-can be stored in the foreign languages being used. Although the term language implies system foreign language translation capabilities, this is not the case. A Language Code attached to each Itinerary Segment identifies which segments are to be used when an itinerary is output. Tourplan is able to output itineraries in different languages. There is no standard method of setting up Itinerary Text-i.e., how it should be used, but there some points to consider which should be discussed with the local Tourplan Support office: When the services are used in a Quote or Booking, an Itinerary can be generated which will be made up of the Itinerary Segments attached to the services. Itinerary Segments are pieces of text (and graphics if required) which can be attached to services in the Product Database. (continued from Allocation Units) Itinerary Segments
