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.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.1
Build or edit the Journey
Add services, update prices, change display settings, edit descriptions, or make operational changes.
2
Save your work
Saved changes update the Journey inside Odia.
3
Publish when the public link should change
Publishing creates a new version and moves the public link to that version.
4
Share the same link
The public URL stays the same. Travellers or agents can refresh it after you publish.
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.
Creating A Journey
Click New Journey or Add Journey from the Journeys screen. Three fields are required:- Title - internal name your team sees
- Travel dates - creates the Journey days
- Guest count - total number of travellers
- Destination areas and area timeline
- Travel agent and commission
- Primary traveller and additional travellers
- Cover image
- Display settings such as hide prices, hide branding, or show total only
Journey Builder
Use the Journey Builder to create the day-by-day trip:- Add services from the Library, then arrange them within and across days
- Group services as Options (the client picks one) or Bundles (sold together as a package)
- Attach variants (different versions of one service, such as room types) and add-ons (optional extras)
- Add content cards, a proposal summary, and day summaries
Journey Builder Guide
Learn how to add and arrange services, and how to create and edit options, bundles, variants, and add-ons.
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.
Correcting a service that was never in scope
Use Cancel service when a confirmed service was sold or operational and was later cancelled. It stays visible as cancelled so its operational history remains clear. If a service was never part of the confirmed scope, an Owner can choose Remove, provide a reason, and remove it from the current Journey only. The correction is available only for a Ready, active, unpaid service on a confirmed Journey. Other roles see Only the owner can remove and cannot perform the correction. Historical published versions and audit history are preserved.Journeys Screen
