A new service type option has been added to the extra services edit screen that lets you access the advanced options added in the new version update. This setting consists of two option “Default” and “Advanced”. Default service type has settings same as before that lets you add service name, cost, description and per label.
Advanced service type is the new enhanced extra service settings that lets you add multi-options extra services with multiple selection and single selection types. With this feature extra services of same type can be categorized and displayed in a single drop-down / options lists that will let your users to choose through for each trip.
