Configuring the tour for Inline Editor
Index
Overview
In this tutorial the previously created open water 4 day course (OW4D1N) will be booked in the inline editor. An ad hoc tour have to be created to act as the header under which the trip will be booked. This top level ad hoc "container" is a requirement to be able to use the inline editor.
Any top level tour code that will be selected in the inline editor MUST be set as ticketable in that tour's Maintenance -> Advanced screen. The previously created open water 4 day course (OW4D1N) has been modified to be ticketable for this tutorial.
