Creating a Booking

Depending on booking type (Domestic, International Air, Ocean, International Sea-Air, or International Road Freight) the booking will have different sections or fields for you to fill out. Some fields are only shown when they are needed to make the booking easier and faster for you to fill in.

To create a booking:

1    From the Home Page, select the booking type (Domestic, International Air, Ocean, International Sea-Air, or International Road Freight) from the Create Booking section.

OR

If you want to use a template, you can click the --Use Template-- drop-down list and select the template you want to use and click Create Booking. You can also click the name of the template from your Favorite Templates section. You can select a template after you've chosen a booking type as well.

When selecting a template, Your Favorites are listed first, then the templates Created By You and finally Shared By Team templates that were created by a user in your company.
