TourCockpit asks which one you are working in, remembers the answer, and lets you move between them without signing out. ## Do I need this page? Only if your account belongs to more than one company. Almost everyone's belongs to one, and for them none of this exists: you sign in and land on your board, with no question asked and nothing extra on the screen. ## Which company are you working in? The first time you sign in, TourCockpit asks. Each company is a button carrying its name and your role there, Owner, Manager or Operator, because the same person can be office staff in one company and a reselling desk in another. The companies are listed rather than hidden in a dropdown on purpose: the point is to read the name before choosing it, since two companies' boards look alike. Press one and you are in it, on the daily board. Your browser remembers the answer, so the question is asked once and not every morning. If you are taken off the company it remembered, you are simply asked again. If you followed a link from an email, choosing the company takes you on to the page the link was for, not to the board. ## How do I move to the other company? The company's name sits over the board with a chevron beside it: in the small panel at the top right on a computer, and on a phone it is the header itself, so tapping the name opens it. Every company you belong to is listed, with a tick against the one you are in. Choose another and the same screen comes back in that company, so what you were looking at is what you see there. If your role in the new company does not reach that screen, TourCockpit puts you on one it does. The address in the browser changes with it. Each company has its own, its short name in front of tourcockpit.com, and opening one you belong to puts you straight into that company, which is what a bookmark saved in one of them will do. An address belonging to a company you are not in shows you its sign-in page and nothing of it. ## I sell for several tour companies. Where is my switcher? A reselling desk does not get one, on purpose. When your desk sells for more than one tour company, the portal already shows their departures together rather than one company at a time, so there is nothing to switch between. The switcher appears only for people who hold an office account in at least one company. ## What does SANDBOX or DEMO beside a name mean? That the company is not a working one. Such a company wears its word beside its name wherever it is chosen, a coloured band across the top of every screen once you are in it, and the same word in front of the page name in the browser tab, so the answer to which one am I in is never more than a glance away. - SANDBOX is a copy of a working company, kept so that something can be tried against a real day without touching the real day. Its band says so: Nothing here reaches a customer. A booking alert, a reseller's message, a guide's copy of the day: none of them go out, whatever number or address the copy is carrying. The one email that still reaches you is the one about your own sign-in, choosing or resetting your password, because a copy you cannot get into is no use to anybody. - DEMO is one of TourCockpit's own example companies, the ones shown to people who are still deciding. - ARCHIVE holds days lifted out of a working company and kept as they were, readable but out of the way of the day the office is running. A working company wears no band at all. If you can see one, you are not in the day the guides are driving. ## Can one company see the other's bookings? No. The companies are kept wholly apart: you read and change only the one you are working in, and moving between them changes nothing in either. What travels with you is your own account and nothing else. The chooser and the switcher know each company's name and your role there; no guest, no booking and no price crosses.
