21 October 2025

• The Departure/Tour dashboard can now also be filtered by Tour Type; e.g. the categories of trip types you offer, e.g. Package, custom, guided, self guided, scheduled, fixed, private etc., whichever you have defined 'Tour types' in Odyssey's system settings. https://support.myodyssey.app/article/517-dashboard-filters https://support.myodyssey.app/article/245-booking-trip-types

• Add Rooming details to Itineraries. We have added a new button on the Tour Itinerary Carousel pop-up window for Provider records. This allows users to insert the full Client Rooming details, after the Product details on their itinerary text block. These records will be editable, so they can be modified as required. ( Eg: to remove the Guide's rooming details if required ) Please note these rooming records are not NOT DYNAMIC. So if this text block is inserted, it will not automatically change 'when / if' the client numbers or rooming choices change. The text will need to be deleted and re-inserted. The Rooming List text can also be inserted into the Itinerary's Provider Product field at Tour level. https://support.myodyssey.app/article/456-create-an-itinerary

• The Departure/Tour Dashboard can now be filtered by a range of 'To-Do tasks' which have either been done, not done, or a combination of the two. For example, filter your dashboard list to find all the Tours where Luggage Labels have not been printed. https://support.myodyssey.app/article/517-dashboard-filters

• When using the Tour | Accommodation Provider - [ Edit Selected ] function, there is now the ability to Apply these settings to All Days (i.e. All Accommodation providers) on the tour. This feature is available on Tour | Transport providers.

• Providers | Accommodation | Bookings

  A new "Apply to All Days" button is now available on the 'Edit selected' option. This feature allows you to apply settings to every day of a tour for all selected clients at once, a change from the previous per-client application.

• Providers | Transport | Bookings

  The "Apply to All Days" button on the 'Edit selected' option now appears only when the same provider is used on multiple days.

• The Tour Dashboard's viewing options have been updated to provide clearer choices. You can now view To Do's for Office, To Do's for Depot, or Balance owing figures from the Tour Dashboard. https://support.myodyssey.app/article/403-departure-dashboard, https://support.myodyssey.app/article/496-to-do-task-status,
