Welcome to Amadeus Sales & Catering - Delphi, the leading choice for sales and catering automation around the world! We took the best CRM application available (Salesforce.com®) and layered our legendary sales and event technology on top, resulting in a powerful and flexible program designed to meet the needs of today's hospitality professionals.
This training course is key to helping you learn how to enter and manage business. If you can, turn your phone off, remove any other distractions, and take a couple of lessons. Then practice what you've learned. You'll be surprised at how quickly you become comfortable booking business.
Before we can get to the fun stuff, you have to take care of a few housekeeping items.
Workstation requirements
Your IT team should have already received the complete system requirements and have hopefully taken care of everyone's settings. Take a moment to verify these basics to make sure you have a smooth experience from the start.
Browsers
- You can use just about any browser you like, but Chrome and Firefox are our favorites. Make sure your browser is on the most recent version and that you keep it updated.
Internet settings
- In all browsers, disable all pop-up blockers, and enable JavaScript and cookies.
Software
- To merge documents like contracts and BEOs, you need Microsoft Word and a PDF application such as Adobe Reader. For exporting reports to a spreadsheet format, you need Microsoft Excel.
If you run into any technical issues or need help confirming these settings, ask your IT team to review the system requirements and assist you.

Setting up your user account
Your corporate administrator will add you as a user. After your account has been created, you will receive an e-mail notification from support@salesforce.com. Click the Verify Account button in the e-mail and follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting up your account. The link does expire (typically after 7 days), so if you have issues ask your administrator to resend.
Watch this video for a demonstration of how to log in and create a password.
If you do not receive the e-mail notification from support@salesforce.com, check your Junk e-mail folder as the notification sometimes gets picked up by spam filters.
Logging in
When you reset your password, you'll be logged in. After that, you'll go to https://login.salesforce.com/ and log in with your user name and password. Save that to your favorites in your browser.
If you select the Remember me checkbox, you will only have to enter your password the next time you log in.
You can also log in from any iOS or Android device. Go to the App Store or Google Play and download the Salesforce mobile app.
Setting your default property
Whether you have access to one property or one hundred properties, you'll need to set a default property. This saves you from having to select a property when creating a booking, checking availability, and other common tasks. If you have access to multiple properties, select the one that you work with the most often—you'll easily be able to switch to the others.
To set your default property:
- Navigate to Amadeus User Settings.
- Select your default property and click Save.

Take a few minutes to update your personal information such as language, time zone, and email signature. For instructions, first click your Salesforce Experience below.

Training & Help
You can access this training without logging in. In fact, many of our customers have new employees complete this training and take the assessment before creating their user profile. Also, you don't need to learn everything on day one—take it easy on yourself. You can click the Help link on any page, or use the Search box to find a nudge in the right direction and how-to videos.
Quiz time
- Your system administrator has assured you that he added you as a new user. However, you have not received an e-mail from Support@salesforce.com in your e-mail inbox. What could have happened?
- Your system administrator forgot to select the Send E-mail Now checkbox.

- The e-mail was sent but it was picked up by your spam filter and is in your Junk e-mail folder.
