Additional booking screen features

There are some more additional functions in the booking screen, which are accessible for you at any time.

Suppose, you receive a call from the client when you edit some booking. Client asks you for available places in some other ferry line or voyage. Yes, it is possible to see this information, while editing the booking. You have ``Ctrl-R'' shortcut (or icon) for it. This shows all voyage information in a separate window. Choose voyage (you can filter them by ferry line) and press ``Enter'' key, and you'll see available cabins for that voyage.

Sometimes, you (main agent especially) may receive an order from other agency and you might want to make booking on behalf of that agency (in order to have a correct sales report). There is ``Ctrl-A'' combination (and icon) to do that. You'll get the list of all available agencies on the screen and can choose the needed one. You must save booking after changing the agency (see 3.1.5).

You can also enter, edit and review comments on each booking by using ``Ctrl-E'' key, which calls comments' entry dialog. These comments are related to the whole booking. Note! If you want to enter comments besides particular passenger - use remarks field in the passenger information dialog. After you has entered or changed comments you must also save the booking. One more note! you cannot change any comments on the cancelled booking. So do it before canceling!

When you are making a booking for a group trip, it is recommended, that you would enter information about group name and group leader (responsible person). Pressing ``Ctrl-G'' shortcut (or icon) calls group information dialog for that. As usual, - don't forget to save the booking. It is possible to search booking by the name of the group later.

If the customer asks you for booking confirmation, you can print it by using ``Ctrl-P'' combination or printer icon in GUI.
