Overview

This module explains how to assign a pre-built tour itinerary to one or more dates using the TourDriver interface. This feature helps you schedule repeat or recurring trips quickly, such as weekday or seasonal tours.

1. Where to Begin

You can start assigning dates from either:

• Inside a specific itinerary, or

• From the TourBoard view, where you manage all itineraries under a tour group

2. Using the “Manage Tour Date Assignment” Button

Steps:

1. From your chosen itinerary, click the blue “Manage Tour Date Assignment” button

2. You’ll be prompted with three options:

   • Add new assignments

   • Update existing assignments to match the itinerary

   • Delete old assignments

To create new ones, select “Add assignment”

3. Choosing Your Assignment Type

You can assign the itinerary to:

• A range of dates

• Specific individual dates

For example, if this is a weekday tour:

• You might choose all weekdays during November

• Mark off the days you want from the calendar tool

Once selected, click Create Dispatch

4. Resulting Behavior

• Each selected day will now have a Tour Dispatch instance

• These will appear in your Tour Date Report and be ready for:

  • Seat reservations

  • Vehicle/driver assignment

  • Sales tracking

Best Practices

• Use the calendar selection tool for recurring weekday/monthly tours

• Assign dispatches early to allow customers to book in advance

• Review your itinerary before assigning to ensure the route and settings are correct

• Use the TourBoard if you need to assign or update multiple itineraries in bulk
