Comparison Tool

For instructions on creating an itinerary quote, click here.

1. Open Agentopia and search for and select an existing itinerary quote, or create a new one.
2. From the top navigation menu, click Search and perform another product search. Each item in the search results now includes an Add to Favorites button below the Select button.

   

3. Find the product you want to compare and click its corresponding Add to Favorites button. A message appears confirming the product was added to the list of favorites. Click OK.
4. Continue to search for and add products to the Favorites list for comparison.
   Notes:

   • You can add lodging-only promotions as well as multiple components to the favorites list.
   • You cannot add bundles to favorites; however, you can add the parent product.
5. When you have finished adding products to the list of Favorites and are ready to create comparison itineraries, click the Comparison Tool tab.

   

   The Comparison screen appears with the first itinerary displayed. The products you added appear in the Favorites list organized by product category. Product categories can be collapsed or expanded for easier navigation of your Favorites list.

   

   From the Comparison screen, you can either add items from the Favorites list to the existing itinerary or create a new itinerary for comparison.

1. To add an item from the Favorites list to a Comparison Itinerary, click the Comparison's corresponding Add to Itinerary check box.

   

2. In the list of Favorites, find the item you want to add to the itinerary and enter the desired number, the date (if different from what’s displayed), and guest count and child ages (if applicable) and click its corresponding Add to Itinerary link. The item is added to the itinerary.

   

3. Continue adding items to the itinerary until it is complete. If an item you want to add to the itinerary is not currently in the Favorites list, you can click the Main tab to return to the main window at any time to add items to the favorites list.

   Note: You must click the Add to Itinerary box with each instance of adding an item from the Favorites list to the itinerary.

You can add multiple itineraries for comparison, and there is no limit to the number of itineraries you can compare. You can either create several completely different itineraries or you can create a basic itinerary and then make a clone, or copy, to which you can then add different additional items for comparison.

1. To create a new, blank comparison itinerary, click Add Itinerary. A new, blank itinerary window appears.

   

2. To create an identical itinerary to the existing one, click the existing itinerary’s +Clone button. An identical itinerary appears to the right with a new itinerary number displayed.

   

3. Add items from the Favorites list to each itinerary for comparison.

   

4. To hide an itinerary from view, click the itinerary’s corresponding -Hide button. The itinerary disappears from view.
5. To unhide an itinerary, click Add Itinerary. From the drop-down list of the blank itinerary that appears, select the itinerary ID of the itinerary you want to unhide.

While in the Comparison Tool page, you can work with an itinerary in much the same way you would from the main Itinerary window. You can delete items, add a note or reminder, and view the itinerary history. However, you must be in the main window to save, reserve, perform a search, or add insurance or a booking fee to an itinerary. These functions cannot be performed within the Comparison Tool.

1. To make changes to an itinerary, click the itinerary’s corresponding green Edit button. The Edit button turns red to remind you that you can now make changes to the itinerary.

   

2. Make any necessary changes to the itinerary.
3. When you are finished making changes, click Edit. The changes are saved and the Edit button turns back to green.
