Journeys

  • On Hold: Temporarily paused
  • Followed Up: Awaiting response after follow-up
  • Accepted: Approved but not yet paid
  • Confirmed: Paid or operationally confirmed
  • Not Booked: The trip did not go ahead
Publishing is separate from status. A Journey can be confirmed and still have unpublished changes if you edited it after the latest publish.
Each time you publish a Journey, it creates a new version. This is useful for:
  • Making client-requested changes

  2. Click the three dots menu on a Journey row
  3. Select Duplicate
  4. A new Journey form opens pre-filled with the source’s settings
  5. Make any changes and save
What gets copied: Travel dates, areas, guest count, travel agent, commission, headline, cover image, display settings (hide prices, hide branding, show total only), and all services with their prices and details.What doesn’t get copied: Travelers, content cards, day summaries, and description.This is useful for creating template-style trips or when building similar Journeys for different dates or travelers.
For Journeys with multiple travellers:
  • Add all travellers to the Journey
  • The first traveller added becomes the primary traveller automatically
  • Change the primary traveller by clicking the three dots next to their name
  • Only one traveller can be primary (marked with a crown icon)
  • Primary traveller’s information is used for all communications
Yes! You can assign specific travelers to each service when not all travelers participate in every activity.How to assign travelers:
  1. Click on a service in your Journey
  2. Go to the Travelers tab
  3. Select travelers using the checkboxes—each is shown by their first and last name
  4. The guest count automatically updates based on your selection
  5. Clear your selection to return to manual guest count entry
When to use this:
  • Family trips where children don’t join certain activities
  • Group tours with optional excursions

  4. Always notify suppliers about changes before updating the system

Adding new services:
  • Switch to Board View and click ’+’ on the desired day
  • Select from your service inventory
Cancelling services:
  • Set the service status to “Cancelled”
  • The service will no longer be visible on the public Journey but remains in your records

Services and Management

To maintain clean data:
  • Always check if a service or contact exists before adding new ones
  • Use the search function to find existing entries
  • Follow the proper naming conventions
  • Use tags efficiently to organize services
The concierge tab helps you:
  • Get an overview of weekly activities
  • Track pending confirmations
  • Send duty messages to travellers
  • Manage ongoing confirmed Journeys
Yes. Confirmed Journeys stay editable. If your changes affect what the traveller or travel agent should see, publish again so the public link moves to the latest version.

​
Best Practices

Follow these guidelines:
  • Use unique, easily identifiable Journey titles
  • Add ‘Test’ or ‘Sample’ in titles for test Journeys
  • Use proper name fields for travellers (one person per entry)
  • Organize services with efficient tag grouping
When creating test Journeys:
  • Always include ‘Test’ or ‘Sample’ in the title
  • This ensures they won’t affect your analytics
  • Use them for training or testing new features
  • Keep them separate from actual traveller Journeys

Troubleshooting

If something you just created (like a service, supplier, area, or other item) doesn’t appear in the list right away:First, try refreshing the page:
  1. Click the refresh button in your browser, or press:
    • Mac: Command + R
    • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + R or F5
  2. The item should now appear in the list

  • This is a known behavior and refreshing the page resolves it
If refreshing doesn’t work:
  • Make sure you clicked “Save” or “Create” to complete the action
  • Check if you’re looking in the correct area or using the right filters
  • Try logging out and logging back in
  • If the problem persists, contact support at customer@odia.app
If you find a bug, please report it to our support team at customer@odia.app. The guidelines for reporting bugs can be found here.
If you think there is a bug, first always check if the version you are using is up to date with the latest version. The version can be found on the bottom left of your screen. If you’re in a Journey make sure to save all changes you have made. Always refresh the screen first and try logging in and out. If the problem persists, follow the guidelines on how to report a bug.
