The Duplicate functionality lets you copy several objects within Tourwriter. You can copy your Itineraries, Suppliers, Products and Options. The functionality lets you use an itinerary or a supplier as a template and base other itineraries or suppliers around it.
Duplicating Itineraries
The option to duplicate an itinerary is available on the Itinerary list.
- Navigate to the Itineraries tab in the navigation bar.
- Select the Options menu (three dots) at the end of the row for the itinerary you wish to copy and choose Duplicate from the dropdown list.
- Overtype the name of the copied itinerary on the Duplicate itinerary window. The name defaults with the term “Copy of” being appended before the original itinerary name.
- Enter the start and end dates for the copied itinerary.
- Select Refresh all unlocked rates to move the itinerary Booking prices to a relevant rate period spanning the itinerary start & end date.
Note: Locked rates are not auto-refreshed. To refresh rates on a copied itinerary with locked rates, unlock the pricing in the Manage > Pricing section and select Update items.
- Select Create duplicate to create a copy of the itinerary. The copied itinerary appears on the top of the list.
