What is the Duplicate Experience feature?
The Duplicate Experience tool is designed to save you time and effort when creating similar experiences in locations or dates where you already have existing experiences configured. Instead of starting from scratch, you can use this feature to copy all the settings of an existing experience, including:
Basic information: Name, description, and other key details.
Added services: From accommodations to transport or activities.
Payment terms and schedules: Retain the payment structure you previously configured.
With just a few clicks, you’ll have a new experience ready to adjust and publish.
How to use it
The process is simple and straightforward:
Access the experience you want to duplicate: From your admin panel, select the experience that will serve as the template for the new one.
Click the "Duplicate" button: You’ll find this in the top block of the experience information page.
Enter the name and alias for the new experience: After clicking the button, you’ll be prompted to enter this basic information to identify your new experience.
Review and adjust the duplicated details: You’ll now have an exact copy of the original experience, but it’s important to make the necessary adjustments.
Important details to keep in mind
While the duplication feature saves significant time, there are a few key aspects to consider that make the process safer and more efficient:
1. Accommodation quotas are not activated by default
While the same hotels are copied to the new experience, the accommodation quotas will not be activated by default.
This means you’ll need to manually select which quotas you want to sell in the new experience.
Advantage: This step prevents potential overbookings and gives you full control over the capacity of the new experience.
2. Changes in dates or destinations
If you decide to modify the dates or destination of the new duplicated experience, keep in mind that you’ll need to re-add the services related to those dates or locations.
Example: If you duplicate an experience in Bali and change the destination to Thailand, you’ll need to update the accommodations, transport, and activities specific to Thailand.
Tip: Make the adjustments carefully and use the duplicated structure as a starting point.
Advantages of Duplicate Experience
Saves time: Setting up a new experience from scratch can be time-consuming. With this feature, you can significantly reduce that time.
Standardization: Maintain a consistent format for similar experiences, ensuring quality and coherence in the details.
Avoid errors: Replicating a proven experience minimizes the chance of errors in complex configurations.
Flexibility: Although the experience is duplicated, you can make all the necessary adjustments to suit your new requirements.
Tips to make the most of this feature
Always review quotas: Before activating the new experience, ensure that the accommodation quotas are correctly configured.
Check dates and destinations: If there are changes, make sure to adjust the services so everything aligns with the new configurations.
Use clear names: When naming the new experience, choose a title that reflects its location or specific characteristics. This will make it easier to identify in your admin panel.
Do a final review: Before publishing, conduct a general review to ensure everything is properly configured.
Conclusion
The Duplicate Experience feature is your ally for creating new experiences in less time, with greater accuracy, and maintaining full control over the details. While there are a few additional steps, such as activating quotas or adjusting services for changes, these are designed to prevent common issues like overbookings or mismatched services.
