Advisors: Adding an “Other” Booking to your Self-directed Fam
What to do when unique activities don't fit neatly into standard categories. FamGuru's flexibility ensures every aspect of your trip is well-documented, regardless of how unusual or personalized it may be.
- Navigating to Your Itinerary:
- Open your FamGuru app and proceed to your chosen trip – in this instance, Carrie uses her self-directed fam trip to Greece.
Although there are multiple ways to access your itinerary, for today's tutorial, select it by clicking the three lines (hamburger icon) located at the top left.
Adding 'Other Bookings':
- Once you've opened your itinerary, decide when you'd like to insert the unique activity. In our example, it's "yoga on the terrace" scheduled for October 11th.
- Click the '+' icon in the lower right corner to open a menu.
Navigate past the standard options such as hotel stay, inspection, and restaurant, to select the 'Other' option, signifying this is a unique booking.
Inputting Booking Details:
- Although the app offers a search feature (thanks to Google integration), some activities won't be found in Google's database. Our "yoga on the terrace" is a prime example.
- To directly input details, click the 'Add' button.
- Fill in the details:
- Activity: "Yoga on the Terrace"
- Location: If associated with a recognizable place (like a hotel), try searching. For this guide, Carrie's yoga activity is at the "Katakias Centurina" hotel.
Additional Information: Add comments or specifics about the activity. For instance, "on the common area terrace."
Specifying Dates and Time:
- Assign the date for your activity; here, it's October 11th.
Set a start time and an end time for your activity, ensuring a seamless integration into your overall itinerary.
Optional Additions:
- FamGuru allows users to input contacts, photos, and even files related to the activity. While Carrie doesn't use these in this tutorial, know they're there for your convenience.
- Include a description if you'd like. In our case, Carrie mentions this yoga session is a private one.
Verifying Your Entry:After saving the details, your itinerary should display the newly added activity. In our demonstration, "Yoga on the Terrace" for October 11th at 6:30 pm is clearly visible.
Refreshing to Ensure Updates:
- If for some reason your newly added booking doesn't appear, don't fret!
- Simply swipe downwards on your screen to refresh and update the itinerary.
