Signing in to the firm panel
The firm panel opens at the path/app on your firm’s Tourante address. If you open the address with the domain name only, without writing a path, you land directly on the firm panel’s sign-in page.
- On the sign-in page, enter your e-mail address and your password.
- Press the sign-in button. The panel takes you straight to the «Panelim» (my panel) screen.
If you have forgotten your password
- On the sign-in page, click the «Parolamı unuttum» link. The browser tab of the page that opens reads «Parolanızı sıfırlayın» (reset your password).
- In the «E-posta adresi» (e-mail address) field, enter the address you sign in to the panel with and press the «Sıfırlama bağlantısı gönder» (send reset link) button.
- In every case the notification «E-posta adresiniz kayıtlıysa sıfırlama bağlantısı gönderildi.» (If your e-mail address is registered, a reset link has been sent.) appears on the screen. For security reasons the screen does not say whether the address is registered.
- Click the «Parolamı sıfırla» (reset my password) button in the e-mail whose sender name is «Tourante». The link is valid for 60 minutes and can be used only once.
- On the page that opens you see the heading «Yeni parolanızı belirleyin» (set your new password). The «E-posta adresi» field comes filled in. Enter the same password in the «Yeni parola» (new password) and «Yeni parola (tekrar)» (new password, again) fields; the password must be at least 8 characters long.
- Press the «Parolamı sıfırla ve giriş yap» (reset my password and sign in) button. You enter the panel with the notification «Parolanız sıfırlandı, hoş geldiniz.» (Your password has been reset, welcome.). If two-step verification is on for your account, you do not enter the panel directly: the notification «Parolanız sıfırlandı. Giriş sayfasında parolanız ve doğrulama kodunuzla giriş yapın.» (Your password has been reset. Sign in on the sign-in page with your password and your verification code.) appears and the sign-in page opens.
- If the link has expired or has been used before, the warning «Bu bağlantı geçersiz ya da süresi dolmuş. Yeni bir sıfırlama bağlantısı isteyin.» (This link is invalid or has expired. Request a new reset link.) appears. Start again and request a new link.
- If the e-mail has not arrived, check your junk folder and try again a minute later. At most two requests a minute can be sent from the same page.
- The reset e-mail goes to the firm’s staff only. Agency users ask the firm’s manager for their password (Agency portal).
- To go back to sign-in from the page, use the «Girişe geri dön» (back to sign-in) link.
- The password rule is the same in every password field of the firm’s staff: at least 8 characters. The rule applies on the reset and invitation pages, in the «Parolanızı değiştirin» (change your password) window and in the «Kullanıcılar» (users) form. Agency users’ passwords have a rule of their own (Customers and agencies).
- When your password is reset, Tourante ends all your sessions on phones: you sign in again in the phone app with your new password.
First sign-in by invitation
When your firm starts on Tourante, the firm’s first manager receives an invitation e-mail. If your firm’s manager opened your account by importing it from Excel, you receive an invitation e-mail too; the steps are the same (Firm settings).- Click the «Parolamı belirle» (set my password) button in the invitation e-mail whose sender name is «Tourante».
- The «Parolanızı belirleyin» (set your password) page opens. Enter the same password in the «Yeni parola» and «Yeni parola (tekrar)» fields; the password must be at least 8 characters long.
- Press the «Parolamı belirle ve giriş yap» (set my password and sign in) button. You enter the panel with the notification «Parolanız belirlendi, hoş geldiniz.» (Your password has been set, welcome.). If two-step verification is already on for your account, the notification «Parolanız belirlendi. Giriş sayfasında parolanız ve doğrulama kodunuzla giriş yapın.» (Your password has been set. Sign in on the sign-in page with your password and your verification code.) appears instead and the sign-in page opens.
- If the link has expired or has been altered, the «Bu alana erişiminiz yok» (you do not have access to this area) page opens.
- If the link has been used before, the «Bu davet kullanılmış ya da geçersiz.» (This invitation has been used or is invalid.) page opens.
Changing a password someone else set
When the manager creates a user for you or sets a new password for you, someone else knows your password. In that case the «Parolanızı değiştirin» (change your password) window opens automatically after you sign in.- Enter a password of your own choosing in the «Yeni parola» and «Yeni parola (tekrar)» fields; the password must be at least 8 characters long.
- Press the «Parolayı değiştir» (change password) button. The notification «Parolanız değiştirildi.» (Your password has been changed.) appears and the window does not open again.
Two-step verification
Two-step verification protects signing in to the firm panel with a code as well as the password: the code is generated by an authenticator app you install on your phone.- It is required for the «Yönetici». If you have not set it up yet, after your next sign-in the panel first takes you to the set-up screen; you cannot move on to any page without setting it up. This screen also opens first while the firm’s licence is inactive.
- It is optional for other staff. Users with the «Operasyon elemanı» (operations staff) role turn two-step verification on and off themselves on the profile page, the «İki adımlı doğrulama» page. You reach the page from the panel’s user menu.
Roles
The firm panel has two roles: «Yönetici» (manager) and «Operasyon elemanı» (operations staff). Your firm’s manager gives you your role on the «Kullanıcılar» (users) screen (Firm settings). The third role, «Acente kullanıcısı» (agency user), belongs to the users of the agencies that work with your firm. The system gives this role automatically when the manager creates a user for an agency from a customer’s «Panel Kullanıcıları» (panel users) section. An agency user cannot open the firm panel; they sign in only to the agency portal. The table below shows which role sees each menu of the firm panel and which module the menu depends on. A menu does not appear if its module is off, even when your role allows it.
Inside the menus’ screens, too, some blocks and buttons are visible to the manager only; each page says so separately.
The firm’s last manager cannot be deleted. If you try to delete them, the warning «Bu firmanın son Yöneticisi silinemez.» (This firm’s last manager cannot be deleted.) appears: first give the «Yönetici» role to another user.
The Tourante team can also create users in your firm and change a user’s name, e-mail address or role; it cannot set a password. Every change sends an e-mail to all of your firm’s managers, and an e-mail also goes to the old address of a user whose e-mail address is changed. These e-mails come with the sender name «Tourante». A user the Tourante team creates receives an invitation e-mail and sets their own password (above, in the “First sign-in by invitation” section). If the Tourante team changes the address of a user who has not accepted their invitation yet, or has not yet changed a password the manager set for them, the old invitation link and the old password stop working and a new invitation goes to the new address. Your firm’s name is also set by the Tourante team; no field in the panel changes it. The registered name printed as the seller’s name on the pro forma invoice is separate and is entered on the firm information screen (Firm settings).
Modules
The parts of Tourante are switched on and off as modules. The Tourante team switches modules on and off for your firm; to have a module that is off switched on, contact Tourante. There are fourteen modules: «Talepler», «Konfigüratör», «Kotasyon», «Teklifler», «Operasyonlar», «Departlar», «Transferler», «Faturalama», «Takip», «Anketler» (surveys), «Müşteriler», «Oteller», «Geri Bildirim» and «Acente Paneli» (agency panel).- In a new firm, «Transferler», «Anketler» and «Acente Paneli» start switched off; the others are on.
- The menus of a module that is off do not appear in the panel. If you open the address of one of that module’s pages directly, the «Bu alana erişiminiz yok» page appears.
- When the licence expires, all modules except «Geri Bildirim» are switched off together. Your data and your module choices are not deleted; when the licence is extended, they all come back.
Licence warnings
Licence expiry banner
When 14 days are left before the licence ends, a warning banner appears at the top of every page the manager sees. The banner states the number of days left and the date after which access to the panel will close; it gives Tourante’s support address for extending the licence. In the last three days the banner turns from yellow to red. The banner cannot be dismissed and is visible only to the «Yönetici» role.Licence information warning
If your firm’s licence information could not be updated for some time, a yellow warning strip appears at the top of the manager’s pages. The panel keeps working normally and nothing is locked; however, a change made to the licence (an extension, a module switched on) may not have reached the panel yet. If the warning persists, write to the support address in the strip. The strip is visible only to the «Yönetici» role.The page that opens while the licence is inactive
When the licence expires or the firm’s access is stopped, every page of the panel redirects to a single warning page. The page’s title changes with the situation:- «Lisansınız sona erdi» (your licence has expired) — the licence’s term has run out.
- «Deneme süreniz sona erdi» (your trial period has ended) — the trial period has run out.
- «Hesabınız askıya alındı» (your account has been suspended) — the firm’s access to the panel has been stopped.
- The manager sees Tourante’s support address on the page and writes there to extend the licence.
- Other users see no address; the page tells them to talk to the firm’s manager.
- The «Çıkış yap» (sign out) button on the page always works.
- The «Geri Bildirim» button at the bottom right stays on this page too (if the «Geri Bildirim» module is switched on for your firm). You can also report from here that you cannot get into the panel (Support and feedback).
Access denied and invalid links
When you open a page you are not allowed to see, the «Bu alana erişiminiz yok» page appears. You see this page in these cases:- when you open the address of a page of a module that is off,
- when you open a screen your role is not allowed to see,
- when you open the address of another panel (for example, when an agency user opens the firm panel),
- when you open an invitation link that has expired or been altered,
- when you open the agency portal while the firm’s «Acente Paneli» module is off.
Error pages
When a problem occurs on your firm’s Tourante address, you see an error page in Turkish:- «Sayfa bulunamadı» (page not found) — there is no page at the address you opened, or the page has moved. Check the address.
- «Sayfanın süresi doldu» (the page has expired) — the security key has expired because the page stayed open for a long time without any action. Refresh the page and try your action again.
- «Beklenmeyen bir hata oluştu» (an unexpected error occurred) — your request could not be completed. Try again in a few minutes; if the problem persists, let your firm’s manager know.
