Group Landing Page/Preview and Book Overview
Once a group is ready to be put on sale to the public, the Softrip application provides users with the option to provide a URL that allows users to self service and create child bookings. Internal users can view this landing page by selecting the preview and book from the Group Summary page.

Note: External users (passengers or travel agents) can preview and book the group only if users have transitioned the group to operations (see below) and have set the status of the group as active. If the group is set to "internal," only internal users can create child bookings. |

If applicable, users also have the opportunity to display a daily itinerary to the group. The Daily Itinerary that displays on the group landing page is the Daily Itinerary that is entered into the Daily Itinerary Screen.
The Departure date is defaulted to the departure date assigned to the group. Users will not be able to book outside of the dates designated to the group unless there are pre and post nights added to the group. Users can then proceed to go through the shop process.
