Notification

Overview

The Notifications page is a system-level tool used to monitor, review, and manage issues and alerts related to bookings. It centralizes all system-generated warnings, errors, and informational messages to help users maintain data integrity and ensure smooth booking operations.

Open the Notifications module from the main navigation to see a consolidated list of issues across bookings and products.

Notifications overview – categories on the left, detailed list in the center.

Purpose

This module is intended to:

  • Provide real-time visibility into booking-related issues

  • Highlight critical problems such as unpaid or overbooked reservations

  • Assist users in troubleshooting and resolving errors

  • Help ensure reservation completeness and accuracy

By consolidating alerts by type and severity, this module supports operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.


Preconditions

  • Available only to users with permission to access booking administration and notifications.

  • Booking data should be up to date and error-checking services must be running in the background.

  • Some notifications (for example, overbookings or Stop Sales) rely on system configuration thresholds (such as allotment and agreed allotment).

Central Panel: Notification Table

This is the main working area, displaying detailed alerts. Depending on the notification type, the central panel may present different data fields. Some of the most commonly displayed information includes:

Column Name
Description

Booking No

Unique identifier of the affected reservation.

Departure Date

The date of travel associated with the booking.

Customer

Full name of the lead passenger or customer.

Booking Total

Total value of the reservation (all included services).

Paid Amount

Amount already paid by the customer.

Balance

Remaining unpaid amount.

Error Description

Human-readable explanation of the issue or error.

Each row represents a single notification event, tied to a specific booking.


Filters, Sorting & Navigation

  • Pagination controls are located at the bottom of the table to move between pages of results.

  • A records-per-page selector lets you choose how many notifications to display at once (for example, 10, 25, 50).

  • Clicking on column headers allows sorting by fields such as Booking No, Departure Date, or Customer.

  • Depending on your configuration, additional filters (for example, by departure period or destination) may be available at the top of the list to narrow down results.


Working With Notifications

Use the Notifications page as your daily control center for booking quality:

1

1. Select a category

  1. In the left panel, click the notification category you want to review (for example, Unpaid Bkg or Overbkg).

  2. The central table is refreshed to show only notifications of that type.

2

2. Review the list

  1. Scan the Error Description, Departure Date, and Balance (if available) to understand the impact.

  2. Use sorting (for example, sort by Departure Date) to focus on the most urgent cases first.

3
  1. Use the Booking No (and, where applicable, the Customer name) to locate and open the corresponding booking in All bookings or another booking view.

  2. Correct the underlying issue (for example, update payments, fix product selection, or adjust allotment/Stop Sales rules).

4

4. Refresh and verify

  1. After saving the booking, return to the Notifications page.

  2. Refresh the list or wait for the next automatic update.

  3. Confirm that the notification has disappeared or changed status as expected.

For Stop Sales notifications, you can use the dedicated workflow described in Notification on Dashboard Stop Sale to filter by Only Agreed Allotment and focus on the most business-critical rules.


Special Notes & Behaviors

  • Notifications do not auto-resolve—they must be handled and cleared through booking updates or internal processing.

  • The system may auto-refresh counters and lists periodically depending on configuration (for example, every 30 minutes).

  • The presence of multiple notification types for a single booking is possible (for example, a booking can appear under both Unpaid Bkg and Warnings).

  • In some environments, notification acknowledgment features may be enabled to track who resolved which notification and when.

FAQ

I see a Stop Sales notification. Where do I handle it?

In both cases, fix the root cause in the booking or setup.

  • Error Bkg: something failed during save or processing.

  • Warnings: something looks off, but may still be bookable.

What’s the difference between “Error Bkg” and “Warnings”?

A booking with the status "Error Booking" represents a booking that is not finalized (some changes still need to be made to it), while status "Warnings" represent bookings that have the status OK, and which warn you that there is a problem with that booking (travel insurance was not sent, etc.)

What should I prioritize first?

Example: Unpaid Bkg and Warnings at the same time.

Yes. One booking can trigger multiple issues at once.

Can the same booking show up under multiple categories?

  1. Save the booking changes.

  2. Go back to Notifications.

  3. Refresh the list or wait for the next update cycle.

Notifications clear when the underlying issue is gone and the checks rerun.
