Online Tab - Debtors Online Information

This screen controls the credentials and defaults for an agent if they are set up to access the system via the Tourplan NX webConnect or hostConnect/XML to enquire on services and to make bookings.

Example: AGALAX - A Good Agent (Online tab)

About the Online tab fields

Internet Access (Checkbox)

Before anything can be added to this screen, this checkbox must be checked.

Login (20 chrs) & Password (60 chrs)

The values entered in the Login and Password fields are what are given to the agent as their login and password to access the Tourplan clients system via the Internet/iCom. The login field will default to the debtor code, this can be amended if an alternative Login name is preferred.

NOTE: Login Name and Passwords when used are case sensitive. We also suggest selecting a secure password format which uses a combination of lowercase, uppercase, a number and a symbol.

IP Address (60 chrs)

The IP Address field is designed to validate the user logging in to Tourplan via the Internet by checking that the IP address loaded in this field matches the IP Address of the computer being used to login. In most cases, this is not practical, since it binds the user to a computer with a static IP address and prevents such things as roaming or laptop access from different locations and computers. Leave blank if validation is not required.

Branch / Department / Analysis 1-6 (Dropdowns)

When the agent logs in to Tourplan via webConnect and makes a booking, the values in the Branch and Department fields will be used to build the booking reference and the 6 analysis codes will be used as the Booking Analysis entries in the booking header.

The defaults that apply here should not be confused with the Booking Defaults set up in the Booking/PCM Defaults Screen (see the System Setup User Manual, Financials, Branch and/or Department). Those values will default when the agent is attached to a booking being created by a consultant in the system. The defaults in the Online Tab screen are used only when a booking is made by the agent via the Internet.
