Location Drop Lists

Drop List Basics

Your hudson web system has a potential of having up to four location drop lists. Exactly which list any location shows up in is dependant on what letter code is placed in column M (FARE TYPE) in the fare table.

The drop lists can be coded with the following letter designations (in order their display on the page and showing the most common usage):

P - Places or Cities
S - School
C - Corporate
H - Hotel
A - Airport
O - Other

Hiding & Displaying Corporate Drop Lists

To display a corporate account's locations, in their portal, without dispaying the corporate account addresses globally, is supported by Hudson web technology. Here is how:

1. Assign all of your corporate addresses, which you do not want displayed globally, to the FARE TYPE C in the fare table.
2. Using the WEB UTILITY=>CUSTOM CONFIGURATION configure PICKUP CORPORATE in the DYNAMIC FIELD DESCRIPTIONS as an empty (no copy) field.
3. Using the WEB UTILITY => GROUP CONFIGURATION add the fare keys for the corporate locations you want displayed to the WEB EDITED LOCATIONS field (more info at Portal Specific Location Display)
4. Using the WEB UTILITY => GROUP CONFIGURATION add the following string to the WEB EDITED PROFILE OPTIONS field.

   PGH=PICKUPCORPDESC:COMPANY<sp>NAME
