Terminology

Changing the Major Heading Labels - throughout Odyssey

Odyssey has a helpful feature whereby simple settings can change the Terminology used throughout the solution, so that it matches the common 'terms' used by any company, enabling it to 'fit' numerous companies and their own terminology.   This reduces the amount of time needed by staff to learn and adopt Odyssey.

These customisable labels are available for the following areas of Odyssey

• Levels
• Provider Types
• Movement Types

Levels

These level headings are all customisable, using the Main Menu | Admin | Terminology settings

Level 1 - Location based   (eg: Trail / Area / Category / Depot / Department) - used for reporting & filtering

Level 2 - Masters - (eg: Masters / Packages / Trip / Itineraries) -  used for replication to streamline future 'Level 3' instances

Level 3 - Dated instance - (eg: Departure / Group Booking / Trip) -   An identifier / reference is created.

Level 4 - Details relating to the individual who is part of the 'Level 3' instance. (eg: Booking / Passenger) Individual compiled costs

Level 5 - Personal record retained and used on future Level 3 instances.  (eg: Customer / Client)

The values in these 5 levels are used to populate :

• Menus
• Headings
• Field prompts - when a field is empty
• Hover Tooltips - help-text
• Field Labels
• Button Labels
