# Maintain Template Voyages

When you have located a template voyage, click on it and the details will show in a drawer on the right hand side. The drawer will also open after creating a *new* template voyage.

### Template Indicator

Template voyages have the template label next to the status selector to indicate that it is a template voyage:

![Template Indicator Label in Grey](/files/-Mkb8Ymxecu2xCHB6g0j)

### Status

In the header of a selected template voyage drawer, the current status can be viewed. Clicking on it will activate a dropdown menu and a new status can be selected. A template voyage can either have the status *Estimate* or *Closed*. All other statuses are disabled for template voyages.

###

### Scheduled Voyages Tab

Tabs in the template voyages drawer include the same tabs as other voyages, as well as the 'Scheduled Voyages' tab.

Voyages that are created from the selected template voyage are listed in this Scheduled Voyages tab. To create a new scheduled voyage click **Add** <img src="/files/-M23aB95JDSUt7kYOdWo" alt="" data-size="line"> in the top right corner of the list. The 'Add Voyage' option creates a copy of the selected template voyage using the same field values, while the 'Add Multiple Voyages' gives you option to either *schedule with fixed endpoints* or *schedule with fixed intervals:*

The columns consists of:

<table><thead><tr><th>Fields</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Vessel</td><td>Vessel of the current voyage</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Reference Number</td><td>Number of reference of the current voyage</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Voyage Start Date</td><td>Start of the voyage</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Laycan From</td><td>Laycan start date</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Laycan To</td><td>Laycan to date</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Voyage Status</td><td>Status of the current voyage</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Optional</td><td>Whether the performance cargo is optional, 'Not declared' by default when optional is not checked</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Option Status</td><td>The status of optional of the performance cargo, 'Not Declared' by default when optional is checked</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Comments</td><td>Comments on the current voyage</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Edit Option Status

You can multi-select the scheduled voyages and then click on the *edit* pencil-icon on the blue header that appears to edit the selected voyages:

In the Edit modal, you are able to make the selected voyages both optional and select the option status of wanting:

When opening one of the scheduled voyages from the list, you will see this status chip on the header of the Voyage drawer:

<figure><img src="/files/0UW2fO7QrKGAn1P3z01F" alt=""><figcaption><p>Option Status Chip on the Voyage Drawer Header</p></figcaption></figure>

This matches the option status from the Scheduled Voyages list, and is now editable from the Voyage drawer:

<figure><img src="/files/RaYuaVHqwc1SmVNsmd74" alt=""><figcaption><p>Statuses to choose from</p></figcaption></figure>

The dropdown makes it possible to change to one of the other options, which will then update the option status of the linked performance cargo.

The option status is also available in the tooltip of the Commitment voyages in the [Scheduler Board](/release-6.38/fleet-allocation-and-scheduling/getting-started/fleet-plans/gantt-board.md) in FAS.

### Mark as Optional

From the Voyage drawer you can in the *secondary actions* mark a voyage as an 'optional' voyage, which will then make the status chip from above appear in the header:

<figure><img src="/files/bAiOlQ4rfGDqgkJJp3yI" alt=""><figcaption><p>Mark as Optional in Secondary Actions</p></figcaption></figure>

You will still be able to change the status, and also click 'Remove Optional mark' in the secondary actions as well.&#x20;

### Restrictions&#x20;

* Option Status field is mandatory on a cargo
* Status chip dropdown is only visible when the optional field is checked on the performance cargo (or the voyage is marked as optional)
* Mark as Optional/Remove Optional mark is not available and/or is disabled for Template voyages and for voyages with statuses: 'Nominated', 'Operational', 'Operationally Closed', 'Invoiced' and 'Closed'
* Not possible to mark a voyage as optional if there are no cargoes present
* Not possible to change the voyage status of an optional voyage with option status that is not 'Declared' to a status beyond 'Allocated' (i.e. 'Nominated', 'Operational', etc...)&#x20;
