66836 TOURS ONLINE: Users can generate a lead-in price per branch for any product database HOT type and OTH type products and export both Vendor and Product content and the lead-in price in a new data export from the booking management module. There are 2 parts to this process: Cache Search Profile and Product Details Export. The latter part will be introduced in a later release. CR1642 Cache Search Profile In Bulk Operations there is a new option called Cached Search Profile. This can only be accessed if Can Configure Cache Search is ticked in the Access/Updates tab in the User Security Profile providing a database setting has been switched on. Please contact Dolphin Support for more information. In the Cache Search Profile dialogue users can manage and configure the search profiles that they want to use to generate searches that will obtain lead-in price caches. This dialogue also includes a Scheduler which is supported by Dolphin Window Services (Introduced in R15.2). The results will be sorted to identify the lowest price for each passenger count, product and location combination per booking management module branch to populate the lead-in price cache with the cheapest price within the date range searched. The results can be viewed in the database table. Product Details Export In Bulk Operations > Scheduled Tasks there is new task called Product Details Export. Users can use this task to configure the frequency and products to be included within the Product Details Export.xml file. The file will contain the financial & itinerary vendor details from the relevant contracts, along with the lead-in prices in customer currency generated by the Cache Searches. Any auto remarks configured at vendor level for Hotel items and at contract/product level for Other items will be inlcuded in the export file, provided a new Display/Print option "Vendor/Product Details Export" is selected. However, if there are Creation Date To or Travel Date To dates set at remark or override level which are not in the future then the auto remarks will be excluded. As well as being able to run the export as a scheduled task within the booking management module user interface, it can also be run as a Windows service - the 2 letter code for the service is "PD".
