Assigning staff on a departure

Written by PaxFlow Customer Support

PaxFlow allows you to assign resources and staff to tours quickly from the Departure calendar or the Daily departures overview. If a tour has an assignment template, PaxFlow will guide you through assigning the required resources, such as vehicles, drivers, and guides, so you can ensure the departure is fully prepared.

You can also manually assign resources and staff to tours that do not use assignment templates. Once assignments are completed, you can view them in the tour overview at any time.
