must also enter the word ‘hiking’ in your

only match up with keyword you have entered. They
will NOT match up with activities you have chosen.

trips, seats and dates that can be purchased by the
end user.

Q: Why are there editing buttons on the left of my
trip dates and edit buttons on the bottom?
Left Menu
The editing menu on the left allows you to make any
‘text’ changes such as general description,
itinerary, gear list, keywords, activity categories
etc that will reflect in all occurrences of that trip.
‘Pricing’ or ‘seat availability’
changes will only be reflected in all NEW trip dates
you create after making the changes.
You cannot change price or seat availability on existing
trip dates using the left menu.
Bottom Menu
The editing menu on the bottom allows you to make
changes to individual trip dates (one date at a time).
Example = change prices only on your December dates.
You cannot change the price on any trips with seats
that have been sold.
Q: How do I change the Booked and Available seats
showing in my trip summary page?
Booked Seats:
You can never change the booked fields of a trip.
You can remove seats by selling them in a system sale
(credit card) of an offline sale (cash or trade).
If you have genuinely made an error by selling seats
for the wrong trip please contact clientcare@adventureengine.com
and we will adjust the error in the back end of the
system.
Seat Availability (trip size):
If you have already sold a seat on a trip date you
want to adjust, you can add to seat availability or
you can reduce the max seats down to the number of
booked seats only one trip date at a time.
If you have not sold any seats yet, you can add or
remove seats one trip date at a time. Check the box
beside the date you want to edit and adjust accordingly
using the blue editing buttons at the bottom of the
trip occurrences (trip dates)
Although you can delete multiple trip occurrences
at a time, you can only edit one at a time using the
menu buttons at the bottom of the trip dates
In some cases it may be faster to delete all occurrences
(as long as they have no seats sold) and then re-enter
new trip dates, times and prices. Check off the boxes
beside all trip dates you wish to delete and delete
using the blue edit buttons at the bottom of your
trip dates. Then go to add dates & times from
the editing menu on the left.

dates
Go to your trip summary page and click on trip to
see details
Check off box to the left of the trip date you want
to change
Click <change start date / time> at the bottom
of your screen
If you use the menu at the left, the changes will
