In this section below we present all Ordering procedures depending on the type of the Red App e.g. Public/Private, with or without intervention

etc. The ordering procedure for public Red Apps is initiated on the Red App Directory by the Buyer; however Private apps are managed solely in

the Admin Centre panel. Some apps may require intervention on the Buyer or Provider side. We have also recently added option to auto-

activate Red Apps that do not require an Agency Administrator to turn on the app before use. All options are outlined below.

O R D E R I N G – A U T O - A C T I V A T E D A N D M A N U A L A C T I V A T E D R E D A P P S

We have introduced a new option during the ordering procedure. The new Automatic Activation Order feature saves time by allowing the

agency to automatically activate an app for all of the EPRs in one or more PCCs when placing the order. Agencies can choose to use this new

order process, or they can place orders the way do today, manually provisioning the apps within the SRW agency admin tool (AAT). In this case,

they would choose the Manual Activation Order option, formerly known as Standard order.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

After placing an Automatic Activation Order, the Red App will be automatically provisioned and activated for users provided in that order. All

subsequent versions of that Red App will be automatically activated for your users.

Auto Activation Order is available for Public apps only and may be available for a limited selection of apps initially.

Automatic Activation Orders do not require the Agency Administrators to activate the Red App in the Agency Admin Tool found in Sabre Red

Workspace.
