    The index is independent available from the request type.

    Own Notes
    Mask fields „data"
    Catalogue
    When feeding in a new data record this field is filled automatically set.
    A condition for it is that you have selected the desired catalogue before.
    Booking name
    In this text field a booking name is seized manually. This name can be changed at any time. These changes are automatically transferred to the existing reports.
    Booking code
    The booking code may consist of maximally 17 characters. After the first reservation the code cannot be adapted any more for this service.
    For the reservation code may neither be used empty/special characters nor umlauts. An exception exists with the new installation of a flight service, where blanks are permitted.
    To ease statistical reports it should be considered to use, so called, speaking codes, e.g.: MIA10100; MIA10101; MIA20100; MIA20100
    MIA = 3 Letter code of the airport (Miami)
    10 = West coast (Region code) or
    20 = East coast (Region code)

    200 = Beach Hotel (Area code)
    11 = Hotel 1; 12 = Hotel 2...
    (Continuous numbering code for booking codes)
    To separate Airlines operating to the same airport, a new booking code may be extended by the 2-letter-code of the airline e.g. LH: CGN MIA/LH (Outbound)
    To allow Da Vinci to identify the correct and corresponding return flight the code should be e.g.: MIA CGN/LH (Inbound)
