Editing Segments
You can edit segments by clicking the pencil icon on a given segment. This will open a similar menu to the adding segment menu.
Removing Segments
To remove a segment, click the three vertical dots in the upper right of the segment, and then click the delete button.
Danger:
There is no confirmation code for segment deletion. If you accidentally delete a segment, you can use the Back Button (link to article) to undo this change.
Expanding/Collapsing Segments
You can view segments either in the expanded or collapsed view. The expanded view shows all of the fields for a given segment, while the collapsed view shows only key data, creating a more streamlined and readable version of the itinerary.
To expand/collapse an individual segment, click the up/down caret in the upper right of the segment.
To expand/collapse all segments in the itinerary, use the Expand All/Collapse All button at the top of the itinerary.
Re-ordering Segments
To re-order segments, drag the segment you want to move to the place you want it to be in the itinerary.
Note:
It is easier to re-order segments in the collapsed view.
