The Templates page displays the list of booking templates and allows you to create, view, or edit booking templates. You can also create a booking based on the existing templates. Creating booking templates can save data entry time. The purpose of the template is to save data considered general enough to be reused for future bookings.

 

Saving a booking template does not save all the data. Data such as Addresses, Notify Lists, Terms and Insurance, and some product details are saved in the template. Data that will not be saved are Reference numbers and Package details.
