Questions and Answers

Q1. What if I can’t find the traveler?

If you are attempting to find a traveler’s car or hotel reservation and the traveler was booked on a multi-passenger PNR, the

traveler’s hotel or car reservation may not be available in GTR Viewer if the secondary traveler’s hotel or car reservation

was not properly associated to the passenger. You can find the hotel or car reservation by searching for the primary

traveler in the reservation (the secondary passenger’s travel companion).

Q2. Why can’t I see the segment?

Ensure your search bar and filter contains the correct information. Remember that Cancelled and Past date segments are

not shown as default and you can use the filter buttons to see those. Clear or reset the filter and start again if you are

unsure.

Q3. What email address is displayed for the traveler?

The email address from the GDS record is displayed in the traveler summary for the traveler. If multiple email addresses

exist in the GDS record then the system attempts to get the best match for the traveler based on the traveler’s first and last

name. The best match is considered the email address for the traveler and is used going forward. If there are multiple

emails that are considered the best match then the first email in the PNR is displayed in the traveler summary. No te: any

emails available in the GDS record are available for search but will not display in the result summary.

Q4. What phone number is displayed for the traveler?

The phone number from the GDS record is displayed in the traveler summary for the traveler. If multiple phone numbers

exist in the GDS record then the system displays the first phone number in this order: 1) Mobile 2) Business 3) Home 4)All

other and displays in the traveler summary. The other phone numbers are displayed when you click or hover over the

ellipses “…” . Note: any phone numbers available in the GDS record are available for search

Q5. Why is the employee ID not displayed for my client?

The employee ID is currently only populated for McKinsey. Future releases may allow mapping and searching for other

client’s employee IDs but that is not currently available.

Q6. Why are ticket details missing?

Ticket details are only displayed for the segment if the segment has been included in the ticketing entry. If the ticket did not

include that segment then detailed ticket information will be missing. However, the Date of Issue field should include the

Ticketing Time limit.

Q7.What fare information is displayed?

Fare details are only displayed for the segment if the segment has been included in the stored fare entry. If the stored fare

did not include that segment then fare details information will be missing. If multiple stored fares exist for the same

segment, then all fare details will be displayed.

Q8.Why is the MI information missing?

MI information is displayed if it exists in the GDS record and is mapped for reporting purposes. If the mapping doesn’t exis t,

the MI information will be missing.

Q9.Why are details missing in the More Travelers area?

More Traveler details are only displayed if multiple passengers exist on the same GDS record (PNR). If employee ID,

phone, and email are not correctly formatted for passenger association – only the name will display. Note: if multiple

travelers exist on the same PNR they should be available for search

Q10.How are the Cruise, Tour, and Ferry segments displayed?

For this release, the Cruise, Tour, and Ferry segments are displayed as Other segments. The details are available but not

in normalized segment format.
