TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
Travel Group Settings present the starting point of display for editing any travel group.
Next to the overall general settings that will allow major changes to the way how results will be presented, there's also an ability to specify queue settings that will be independent of the primary website configuration and be only specific to the travel group you are editing.
In the following lines, we will explain each setting and give references on how you can manage PNR settings.
Travel Group Settings
Managing this page provides the basic travel component specifications for a Travel group.
It's important to understand that enabling or disabling settings from the travel group settings will be responsible for the way a great number of functionalities are displayed in the results.
Below lies the table that will have all settings named and their descriptions provided:
| Setting Name | Description |
| Require Justification | Specify whether the employee will have to provide justification in case of selecting an out-of-policy itinerary for business travel |
| Display Profile Page To Employees | Specify whether to display the profile page to employees. If enabled, when employees are logged in they will be able to see and edit their profile. If not enabled, only the administrator can Edit their profiles. |
| Disable automatic email notifications for newly created employees | When a new Employee Profile has been created, the E-mail notification will not be sent to them. |
| Activate Air Search | Enabling this option will activate Air search for all travel group members. |
| Activate Car Search | Activating this option will enable Car search for all travel group members. |
| Activate Hotel Search | Hotel search will be enabled for all travel group members if this option is activated. |
| Activate LowCost Carriers Search on Amadeus Light Ticketing | Specify whether to provide a Low-cost carrier content booking process to employees. First, LCC content must be activated in the website settings of the corporate website you are managing. |
| Disable GDS Content | If this option is activated, no content from Global Distribution Systems will be provided in the search results. GDSs that are available in the Thomalex system are Amadeus and Sabre. |
| Activate NDC Search | Enabling this option will allow Travel Group members to use NDC content. Note that just enabling this option in order to get NDC content won't be enough. All NDCs that you expect to appear in search results first need to be enabled in the Website Settings of the corporate website that you are managing. Only then you will be able to return to Travel Group Settings and enable this option to get NDC content. |
| Activate Travel Boutique Search | Activating this option will enable Travel Boutique content for hotel searches of travel group members. Note that Travel Boutique needs to first be enabled in the Website Settings of the corporate website you are managing. |
| Allow Traveler To Book Travel Partner | If this option is enabled, travelers and other travel group members will be allowed to book guests that are not members of the travel group. |
| Enable Cost Center Budget | Specify if you want to enable Cost center budgeting. In order to have this option visible it first needs to be enabled by the members of the Thomalex support team. |
| Disable Cost Center Changes in Shopping Cart | This option will allow the Administrators to disable the Cost Centers from showing in the Shopping Cart. This can be particularly useful if we want to have a default Cost Center assigned to a specific Employee and we do not want them to change it in the Shopping Cart and keep the assigned Budget. This option is only available for B2B (Corporate). |
| Enable Customized Hyperlinks | Turning this option on will enable a kind of hyperlink text that will be displayed at the end of search results. Upon clicking on the hyperlinked text, the traveler will be redirected to the link. The hyperlinked text will be located right next to the mandatory "Agency Terms" hyperlink:  Image no.1 Preview Example Customized Hyperlink TextThis text will be displayed for the link below, and when clicking on the text, the traveler will be redirected to the link below.
