Overview
A Journey is the single workspace for a trip in Odia. Use it to build the proposal, share the public link, confirm the booking, manage services, send purchase orders, track tasks, and keep the traveller-facing page up to date.
Build
Add areas, services, travellers, pricing, content cards, summaries, and files in one day-by-day builder.
Publish
Publish to create a numbered version and update the public Journey link.
Operate
Once confirmed, keep using the same Journey for suppliers, purchase orders, service statuses, tasks, and invoicing.
Journey Stages
The Journey status tracks where the trip is commercially. You can update it manually as the booking moves forward.| Status | When to use it |
|---|---|
| To Do | New Journey, not yet being worked on |
| In Progress | Actively designing or revising the trip |
| Sent | A version has been sent to the client or travel agent |
| On Hold | Waiting for information, budget approval, dates, or a client decision |
| Followed Up | You have followed up and are waiting for a response |
| Accepted | Client or agent has accepted, but payment is not confirmed yet |
| Confirmed | Paid or operationally confirmed; ready for supplier operations |
| Not Booked | The trip did not go ahead |
Publishing is separate from the commercial status. A Journey can be Sent, Accepted, or Confirmed and still need publishing again if you saved changes after the last published version.
Public Link And Publishing
Every Journey has one public link once it has been published. You can keep sending the same link throughout the trip lifecycle.Build or edit the Journey
Add services, update prices, change display settings, edit descriptions, or make operational changes.
Publish when the public link should change
Publishing creates a new version and moves the public link to that version.
Version history
Each publish creates a numbered version: v1, v2, v3, and so on.- The public Journey link opens the latest published version.
- Version-specific links stay locked to that exact version.
- Use version-specific links when you want to share different presentations, for example a version with prices and a version without prices.
- You can restore an older version as the current working copy if needed.

- Public description and additional information
- Internal notes, special notes, and purchase-order details
- Files, tickets, confirmations, and custom fields

Content and summaries
Content and summaries
Use the Overview tab to add trip summaries, day summaries, maps, and reusable content cards. Odi AI can generate summaries from the services already in the Journey.
Confirmed Journeys
When a Journey becomes confirmed, it stays in the same workspace. The status changes, but the trip does not become locked and you do not switch to a separate itinerary record. For confirmed trips, use the same Journey to:- Add or update services
- Send purchase orders
- Track service status: Ready, PO Sent, Confirmed, To Change, Cancelled, Completed
- Assign travellers to services
- Upload tickets and confirmations
- Create invoices
- Add tasks and manage communications
Confirmed Journeys still follow the publish rule. Save changes inside Odia, then publish when those changes should appear on the public link.
