Overview

The Proposals screen shows all your proposals in one place. You can view proposal details, track statuses, manage versions, and quickly access proposals to edit or share them.

Opening a Proposal

Click anywhere on a proposal row to open it and start editing. This takes you directly to the proposal editor where you can modify the journey, services, and details.

Quick Actions

When you hover over a proposal row, two icons appear:

Preview

Click the icon to preview how the proposal looks. This preview is for internal review only.

Open Link

Click the icon to open the latest published version in a new tab. This is what your traveller or travel agent sees.

Designer View

This is the main view for travel designers to track proposals, their statuses, and versions.

Versions

Every time you publish a proposal, Odia creates a new version. This helps you track changes and manage revisions. How it works:
  • The version you’re currently working on is called the Master version
  • Each time you publish, a new numbered version is created (Version 1, Version 2, etc.)
  • Click on the arrow next to a proposal to see all its versions
  • Each version shows its description, publish date, and who published it
  • You can restore any previous version as the current master if needed
Add a clear description when you publish (e.g., “Version without flights”, “Updated pricing for 2025”) so you can easily identify versions later.

Status

The status indicates where a proposal is in your workflow. Some statuses update automatically, but most need to be changed manually to reflect the current state. Automatic status changes:
  • When you publish → Status changes to “Sent”
  • When you make changes after publishing → Status changes back to “In Progress”

Active States

On HoldWaiting for information or decisionManual
Followed UpAwaiting traveller response after follow-upManual
StatusWhen to UsePayment StatusWhat Happens
AcceptedTraveller said yes, awaiting paymentNo payment yetProposal stays editable, no itinerary created yet
Part ConfirmedSome services paid, others pendingPartial paymentItinerary created, manually mark services as confirmed, proposal stays editable
ConfirmedAll services confirmed, ready for operationsPaid (deposit or full)Itinerary auto-created with all services, proposal becomes non-editable
Not BookedTraveller declined the bookingNo paymentNo itinerary created
Recommendations:
  • Use Accepted when travel agent confirms but no payment made yet - proposal stays editable, no itinerary created
  • Use Part Confirmed when some services are being paid for or confirmed gradually - creates itinerary where you can mark individual services as confirmed
  • Use Confirmed when traveller has paid deposit or full payment and all services are ready to start itinerary operations
When you change a proposal status to “Part Confirmed” or “Confirmed”, an itinerary is automatically created and linked to the proposal. The key difference is what gets copied and whether the proposal stays editable. “Accepted” status does not create an itinerary.

Owners

The owner is the team member responsible for a proposal. Setting an owner helps with organization and makes sure proposals show up on the right person’s dashboard. How to assign an owner:
  • Click on the owner circle to assign yourself or another team member
  • The proposal owner automatically becomes the itinerary owner when confirmed
  • You can change the owner at any time while the proposal is active
You cannot change the owner at the itinerary level, so make sure to assign the correct owner to the proposal before confirming it.

Filtering Proposals

Find proposals quickly using the available filters and sorting options: Filter by:
  • Trip start date - Pick a date range to filter by departure date
  • Owner - See proposals assigned to specific team members
  • Status - Filter by proposal status using multi-select with AND logic (e.g., select “In Progress” AND “On Hold” to see only proposals that match both criteria)
  • Archived - Toggle to show or hide archived proposals
  • Search bar - Search in proposal titles (searches both internal title and traveller-facing headline)
Sort by:
  • Created date - Ascending (oldest first) or Descending (newest first)
  • Trip start date - Ascending (earliest trips first) or Descending (latest trips first)
  • Received date - Ascending or Descending order

Archiving Proposals

Keep your workspace tidy by archiving completed or cancelled proposals:
  1. Click the three dots on a proposal row
  2. Select Archive
  3. The proposal moves to archived view but remains accessible
Only Admins and Owners can archive proposals. Archived proposals can be restored at any time by the same user roles.
