The Tour Overview in NATS is where you can find all of a site's tour information, edit tour settings, configure billers with the tour, and more.

Details Tab

The Details tab displays detailed information about the tour.

• Tour ID: The ID of the tour.
• Tour Name: The name of the tour.
• Tour Shortname: The short name for your tour. (If the tour is a default tour, the short name will automatically be set to "MAIN".)
• Created: The date and time of creation of the tour.
• Default Programid: The default program for the tour.
• Tour Type: Tours can either be a Standard type or a Mobile type.
  • Mobile Tours allow you to automatically redirect surfers using mobile phones to tours specifically designed for them.
• Niches: A specific Niche for this site.
• Member CAPTCHA: Allows you to enable the CAPTCHA feature on the Member Join Form.
• Default Tour: Specifies if the tour is the default tour for the site.
• Hidden: If set to "Yes", the tour will be hidden on the site.
• Description: The description for the tour.

URL Settings

• URL: The URL where surfers will be redirected when going through tracking links.
• Linkdomain: The domain used to link codes and tracking URLs.
• Cookie Domain: The domain used when setting a tracking cookie for the surfer.
• Gateway HTTPS Domain: The domain used on the GATEWAY Join Form when using HTTPS.
• HTTPS Use: When should NATS force the HTTPS protocol in the URL when surfers click-through tracking links.
• Allow HTTPS on redirects and tracking links: Tells NATS if the tour can use HTTPS or not.
• Display HTTPS for tracking links: Turning this on will have NATS display the linkdomain with the HTTPS protocol wherever it is displayed in NATS

Language Targeting

• Allowed Languages: Comma-delimited (no spaces) names of languages that should be counted for this site.
  • Allow Raw Hits, Allow Unique Hits', Allow Join Hits: Track settings for Allowed Languages.
• Alternative URL: If Allowed Languages is used, traffic that did not match will be sent to this URL.

Threshold Checking

• Subject: The subject of the email being sent
• Body: This is a shortcut to edit the mail_threshold and mail_threshold_html templates for the tour you are viewing.
• Email To: Divide multiple addresses with, (comma). An e-mail will be sent to these E-Mails when the ratio drops below the threshold. (optional)
• Midnight to 6 AM: This is the ratio threshold that will be checked between the hours of Midnight and 6 AM. Example: 1:400
• 6 AM to Noon: This is the ratio threshold that will be checked between the hours of 6 AM and Noon. Example: 1:400
• Noon to 6 AM: This is the ratio threshold that will be checked between the hours of Noon and 6 PM. Example: 1:400
• 6 PM to Midnight: This is the ratio threshold that will be checked between the hours of 6 PM and Midnight. Example: 1:400

For the URL Settings, Language Targeting, and Threshold Checking, you can click the "Edit Details" button next to each title, and the fields will all be able to be edited on the tab.

Pages/Steps Tab

This tab allows you to set different URL and template settings for different signup and tour page situations.

You can set and edit URL's and site templates for:

• Join Page: Set texts, prejoin and username post URL's, and customize/view join page templates.
• Gateway Page: Set texts and customize/view gateway page templates.
• Member Approval: Set member approval redirect URL's, post URL's, and customize/view page approval templates.
• Member Denial: Set member denial redirect and post URL's.
• Member Duplicate: Set a redirect URL and view/customize Member Duplicate page templates.
• Upgrade Approval: Set redirect and post URL's for an upgrade approval and view/customize the page templates.
• Upgrade Denial: Set redirect and post URL's for an upgrade denial and view/customize the page templates.

Note: Clicking the gear icon next to each template will allow you to either customize or duplicate the template.

Billers Tab

The Billers Tab displays a list of all the billers in your NATS install. By clicking the "+" button next to the biller, a list of biller information will appear that will need to be filled in in order for the tour and join options to function properly.

Email Tab

The Email Tab contains various configurable settings that NATS will use for the site the tour belongs to when sending emails to either the site members or the site owner. The email settings for members are under the "Email To Members" tab, and the email settings for the site owner are under the "Email To Owner" tab.

The "Individual Emails" table specifies the steps in which an email can be sent out under the "setting" column. The table also specifies whether that setting is enabled, the subject of the email, who the email is sent to and from, and the mailing tour templates.

• Enabled: Enabling a mail step will allow the mail to be sent when that step occurs.
• Subject: The subject in each step is required to send an Enabled mail.
• Template: The templates will be used as the body of the mail being sent. Clicking the gear next to the template will give you the option to customize or duplicate the template.

Post/User Man Tab

The Posts/User Management Tab is where you will set all of your postback URL's, tour page/step approvals, and user management URL's. To edit any of the fields, you can either click on the field or click the "Edit Details" button for whichever category you are editing. The fields will then be enabled for editing.

Templates Tab

The Templates Tab displays all of the template information for the site tour. This tab is a quick way to access the Site Templates section for the specific tour you are viewing.

To edit a Site Template, choose the site in which you wish to edit a template by clicking the "site" field and selecting an option from the drop-down menu. Once you have chosen a site, click the "Actions" button and click "Customize Template".

This is the same list and same forms found on the Site Templates page found in the left nav.

Linkcodes Tab

The Linkcodes Tab contains the site/tour links that can direct you to your site and tour join page. The page displays your default tour code, which is specific to the site and default tour of the site.

You can create a custom linkcode specific to affiliates, programs, campaign, and other various fields by clicking the "Click here" link at the end of the last bullet point under the default tour code.

Both the default track link and qualified click link will take you to your site using that URL. The Join Form link will redirect you to the join page using the default tour code as your linkcode in the URL.
PHP Examples and Generic/Plain Examples are provided for your preference. These examples are not specific to any affiliate, program, etc., but are specific to the site and tour page.

Switching Tours and Adding Tours

You can change the tour by clicking the menu at the top of the page where it displays the name of the tour, and then click on another tour for the site (if another exists), or you can click on "Manage All Tours for this Site".

You can also add a new tour. By clicking the "+" button next to the drop-down menu of the tours on the top of the page, you will be redirected to the "Add a New Tour" page.

For more information about adding a new tour, please see our NATS5 Tour Setup wiki.

Tour Inheritance, Reverting Inherited Values

When adding a site, one tour (labeled MAIN) is added along with the new site. Additional tours (or sub-tours) can also be added any time.

To ensure it is easy to manage all your tours, we have introduced Tour Inheritance. In short, settings changed in the MAIN tour of a site will be automatically carried to the other tours in that same site. The only time it will not carry over the MAIN value is when that setting has already been customized in another tour.

It is easy to know which settings have been inherited from your MAIN tour by looking for the green checkbox next to a value. For example:

Clicking this icon will allow you to review the current value, MAIN value, and revert back to MAIN if you like:
