Creating a Trip

Trip creation dialog

Opening the Dialog

Click the New Trip button in the dashboard toolbar (or the Create First Trip button on the empty state) to open the Create Trip dialog.

You can also open it directly via a deep link: navigate to /dashboard?create=1. This is the URL used by system notices that prompt you to create a trip.

Fields

Title (required)

The trip name. Cannot be empty — saving is blocked until a title is entered.

Description (optional)

A short free-text description shown on the trip card.

Dates

Set a Start date and End date using the date picker. The day count is calculated automatically when both are set.

If you leave both dates empty, a separate Day count field appears. Enter a number between 1 and 365 to create a date-less itinerary with a fixed number of days.

You cannot set only one date and leave the other blank via normal interaction — setting a start date auto-fills or adjusts the end date to preserve the previous duration.

Cover Image

The cover image is displayed on the trip card and as the background of the Spotlight card. You can add one in three ways:

  • Drag and drop an image file onto the dashed upload area.
  • Paste from clipboard — if you have an image in your clipboard, paste it anywhere in the dialog.
  • File picker — click the upload area to browse for a file.

When creating a new trip the cover image field is always visible. When editing an existing trip it is only shown if you have the trip_cover_upload permission. For a new trip, the image is uploaded immediately after the trip is created.

Reminder

A push notification sent before the trip departs. The field shows a set of preset options:

Option Days before departure
None 0
1 day 1
3 days 3
9 days 9
Custom 130 (you enter the number)

When creating a new trip the reminder field is always visible. When editing an existing trip it is only shown to the trip owner or admin users.

If reminders are disabled on your instance (trip_reminders_enabled = false), the reminder section is shown at reduced opacity with an informational message in place of the preset buttons.

Admin: Trip reminders are controlled by a server-side feature flag (trip_reminders_enabled). Contact your administrator to enable them.

Members

Add initial trip members from the members selector. On a new trip, selected members are queued locally and added to the trip immediately after it is saved. The selector shows all registered users on your instance except yourself.

Saving

Click Create Trip. The trip is saved and you are taken to the Trip-Planner-Overview for the new trip.
