Personalising your Bookings List View
To personalise the fields you view in the List Subtab select the Field Chooser 
(top left of the Bookings Items workspace). Choose your preferred Fields by ticking or unticking the required fields. Tourwriter will “remember” these settings each time you login under your Username.
Note: Tourwriter “remembers” your layout only when one itinerary is open. So ensure you reset the layout with only one itinerary open.
Bookings Items Preferred List Layout
To save your preferred List layout;
- Make sure you only have one Itinerary open
- Arrange the fields in the Booking Items view into your preferred layout
- Save your Itinerary
- Close the Itinerary
This layout will now be saved and used for each Itinerary you open.
NOTE – Some Tourwriter version releases will reset your preferred layout to the default Tourwriter layout. This is due to new features (Fields) being added to the Bookings Items List. Unfortunately when this occurs you will need to reapply (Save) your preferred layout.
