Miscellaneous. Other.

They are the words to catch all, include all and cover all in case the other options were do not fit.

The Locomote Corporate Travel Platform can be customised in thousands of different ways but even then, sometimes you just need an "Other" module and that's what the Additional Information (AI) module offers. You can customise the module to include all 'other' or 'additional' information that is relevant to the company's travel policy ie. Company-specific job references such as project numbers/order numbers/GL codes etc.

Remember

If you require the field(s) to be mandatory, tick the Mandatory checkbox; this will prevent users from submitting a trip request until all fields are completed.

Note

There are 2 types of fields that you can create; a free-text field that will be limited to parameters you set (eg. AA-NNNN = PO-1234) or a drop-down field with pre-filled values that the user selects one option from.

Requirements for Input Validation

If you require the user to enter in data in a predetermined format, enter in the example with the placeholder data:

  • A = Alpha (A-Z)

  • N = Numeric (0-9)

Characters must be entered as per example:

Validation Requirement: AA-NNN

The user would then input: MN-456
