Create Single-Day Itineraries

You can use the "standard itinerary" process to create single-day itineraries or can use the quick entry page.

To use the quick entry page for single-day itineraries:

  1. On the Create New Itinerary page, click the Go to Single Day Itineraries button. The Single Day Itineraries page appears.

  2. Complete the appropriate fields.

    Field / Column

    Description

    Choose start date

    By default, the system provides a row for each day of the current seven-day week.

    If you want a different seven-day period, type a date (or use the calendar) in the Choose start date field and click Go. The seven days (starting with that date) appear.

    Start Location End Location

    Start typing (at least three letters) the name of the city. A list appears. Select the desired city.

    Depart Arrive Depart Back At Origin

    Enter the time for:

    • Depart (from the start location)

    • Arrive (at the end location)

    • Depart (from the end location)

    • Back At Origin (arrive back at the start location)

    Note the following about entering time:

    • For standard workday times (between 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM), you can type whole numbers instead of the hour, minute, and AM or PM. For example, if your type 7 and then presses TAB or clicks in another field, 7:00 AM appears. If your type 5 and then presses TAB or clicks in another field, 5:00 PM appears.

    • If the company uses a 12-hour clock, you can type 22 and 10:00 PM appears.

    • If the company uses a 24-hour clock, you can type 22 and 22:00 appears.

    Hours

    Select the Exclude check box for those days that do not have trips. (You can also simply leave all fields in that row blank.)

  3. Click Save Itineraries.

  4. Click Next. The Available Itineraries page appears.
