Reservation Workflow Topics

The reservation update seems to be working fine. We've entered quite a few reservations and inquiries today and haven't run in to any problems. I can't wait to see that new search feature either...We've talked about something like that.

I have a couple of changes for you in terms of reservation workflow.
1. When create a reservation, we never know the bag, pad, tent, loding info. Could you take the reservation guest editor out of the workflow for new reservations? We'll only use it after someone has made a reservation and sent us the information by fax or mail. Sometime in the future, we'd like to have them enter that stuff through our web page on their own.

2. When someone makes a reservation they are almost always a member of the trip. Could you have the guest list automatically populate with the guest that made the reservation. It would be really cool if the trip was automatically populated with their whole family because in many cases the same family come year after year. We can always change the guest list if it's not the family.

When both of these are in place, once we enter the number of people per pricing plan, the next page would be the reservation general details page with at least the person making the reservation listed as a customer.
