Service Rules.
On this page:
Overview
Service Rules enable or disable the services such as rail, travel policy, display configurations, and custom fields. You can specify to which services each user group has access, including but not limited to rail, travel policy, vendor preferences, hotel per diems, and display configuration.
Important: If you make any changes to your configuration, ensure that Service Rules are updated as well (for example, if new preferred hotels or reference points are uploaded).
Need to know
Service Rules clone over from your template site during the site creation process.
Service Rules reflect the groups configured on the site. Refer to Groups for more information.
Note: The Everyone group is treated as the default traveler group. If you have a VIP, Manager, and Default group, create the group for VIP and Manager; those who do not fall within those parameters will fall in the Everyone group. You do not need to create another group called Default.The Everyone group cannot be removed from the site configuration, as it is hard coded into the system. You can deactivate the Service Rules if it is not needed in your configuration.
