 4. Booking Management

This is the tool to save notes about a specific booking. It is a simple 'html' editor that allows you to format text into bold or italic styles and make line breaks.

You must click the 'edit icon' (see 4. for image) to begin editing your notes. Once you click the icon a new window will pop-up with the editor inside. Guide the mouse cursor over the text area and click to activate a cursor. You can now enter as much text as you want.

We provide simple tools so you can create bullet points, bold text or italic text by clicking on the icons above the text area. This is also how to save the notes. Notes are only saved once you click the 'disk icon'. Read further instructions by clicking the 'question mark' icon when you are using this tool.

Saved Notes

Once you save your notes you will see the formatting. At any time you can edit these notes by clicking the 'edit icon', or you can click the 'print icon' to open the booking in a printer friendly window for your paper records.

The pop-up window displays the status of your notes. Once you click the 'disk icon' you will see the status become 'Saved' - Now you can close the window to continue your charter management.
