I’ve seen a quite a few postings regarding how to setup/configure their Sigenstor system. I certainly had that problem. I find the language/terminology used isn’t intuitive. As a result configuring the system to perform as and when you like can be confusing. The AI assistant helped on one occasion, but then when I wanted to set up quite a specific import/export set of conditions, it wasn’t helpful at all.

Curious to know whether others have the same opinion?

These days with everything digital, online or in an App on your phone, few people carry hard copies of tickets or their confirmed travel/accommodation bookings. Not doing so might be a disadvantage if you need to show original information, as all online/digital information will show the latest and possibly changed information.

I always print off hardcopies of everything and place them in a plastic slip cover or folder. I even print the e-visa just in case. Doing so proved to be very helpful last year in Argentina when the airline failed to notify me of a late change to my flight. I arrived at Buenos Aires’s AEP only to learn that my flight had changed to another one departing an hour earlier from EZE. I had proof of my booking in hardcopy showing my flight number and also my chosen seat. The service attendant at the check-in counter was very helpful when shown the evidence. She worked out there had been a mistake by the airline and proceeded to work things out with her office. Because I would subsequently miss my onward connecting flight in Santiago, the attendant was able to book me onto the first available flight out that would allow me to catch the next connecting flight but on the following day along with a complimentary night at a hotel in Santiago.

For peace of mind, always carry printed hard copies of what you have as confirmed itineraries/bookings.

Edit: I also have screenshots BTW. It’s just a “belts & braces” assurance approach. Technology can fail, wifi might not be accessible, e-sim might not have availability, you may have to handover the evidence - if it’s on the phone that means you can be separated from your phone, a feeling made worse if they wander off with your phone into an office! There’s also the human element. Non-first world countries tend to place more faith in things on paper. Anyway, regardless of the situation having paper copies and screenshots mean I have all bases covered, after all it is possible to lose the paper copies. It’s just peace of mind for something that costs less than 50 cents.
