Help System Changes

The following descriptions highlight the enhancements to the XML Select Help system.

Transaction and Task Documentation

Galileo by Travelport is in the process of updating all Transaction documentation to provide standardized field descriptions that are more complete and less ambiguous. Some transactions have been updated for this release, while others will be updated in future releases. This effort is an ongoing process. New and updated transactions have associated task documentation. The task documentation describes how to use the transactions to perform specific business functions. This documentation displays in the How To section of the individual transactions. Task documents have been either updated or added to new and existing transactions, and related samples are linked with the task document. The XML API and GWS Technical Communications and Development staff have been diligently working on updating KLR and NWB documentation to make the description for all fields and nodes in the XML transactions more legible and easier to understand. Although the process is not complete, we strive for more completion with every release. Click the data record links in each transaction listed above to see a specific list of updated KLRs and NWBs.
