Passenger options

For what passenger options are, see Passenger options in Platform. Passengers choose these when they book a ride.

Standard roles have read-only access to passenger options. Creating, editing, and deleting them is restricted to a Super Admin by default.

Permissions: create_passenger_options (a Super Admin)

To create a passenger option, select Create new and enter the following information.

Attributes

  • Name. Enter the name of the passenger option.
  • Slug. Enter the slug of the passenger option. In general, slugs serve as unique identifiers that are used to reliably identify resources. Slugs may only contain lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). Spaces, uppercase letters, and special characters are not allowed.
  • Data type. Select boolean, integer, or string from the dropdown menu. This sets the data type of the value of this passenger option.
  • boolean is used for a true/false or yes/no check, for example, the typical passenger option wheelchair.
  • integer is used if a count is important, for example, the typical ride option large baggage.
  • string is used for a text input, for example, if a user must enter what they have with them or the name of a public transport ticket.
  • Bookable. Select yes or no from the dropdown menu. This determines whether the passenger option may be used to book a ride.
  • Type (icon). Select accompanying, bahncard, bicycle, childseat, default, default_alt, disabled_pass, dog, german_railway, id_card, luggage, national_ticket, pt_ticket, pushchair, walker, or wheelchair from the dropdown menu. This field determines which icon should be rendered for the passenger option.
  • Sort key. Enter a sort key. This field is used to order the passenger options in Control Center and in ioki Passenger App.
  • Fare report column. Select a fare report column from the dropdown, or select - to leave the option out of passenger option report columns. The column names can be customized in the provider-level custom report column name settings for passenger options.
