Query Creation

Overview

The Create Query function allows users to register a new travel inquiry in the CRM system. Every customer request related to Bookings, Quotation, or Ticketing begins by creating a Query.

This process captures essential information such as the source of the request, customer details, travel itinerary, and passenger information. Once created, the query can be tracked, assigned, and updated through different stages until completion.

Users can create a new query using the following method:

Method: From the Top Navigation Bar
