Can we have blackout times so that trips can not be requested during certain times?
EasyTrip 2.1 which was made available on Dec 30, 2007 offers the most sophisticated blackout system available, with the ability to offer blackouts that are limited in scope to certain users or groups of users. The blackouts can include caveats such as “You cannot request a trip between 2 PM and 5 PM on Thursdays unless you agree to drive your own bus” • What happens to “Last Minute Trips” if I force requestors to use our online system 10 days in advance, won’t that just create more last minute work for me to enter the old fashion way? [back to top] In working with our clients, we have developed a system for handling tardy requestors. In response to client feedback, we have allowed the option of exempting the approvers from the minimum required days. This way, a requestor can go to their local administrator and ask to request a trip on their behalf. Ideally the administrator will encourage them to request within the required parameters next time, to avoid the need for future assistance.
