Availability Rulesets
Availability: All Levels
This feature is available on all plan levels
An "Availability Ruleset" is one, or a combination, of availability rule(s) attached normally via Schedule Profile, or directly attached to an item, to change how it rents. In addition, Availability Rulesets can be attached to modify all of the following:
- Items
- Schedule Profiles
- Coupons
- Order Options
- Automatic Messages
- Documents
There are two main Availability Rulesets included on all folders. The rest are completely configurable and customizable depending on the setup:
1. General Availability - Attached to all Schedule Profiles, by default and unless changed, that enforces a minimum order amount and blocks any customers marked as "bad" from order.
2. Universal Availability - Any availability rules in this ruleset apply to the entire folder.
Common questions/issues resolved by attaching an Availability Ruleset/Availability Rule:
- How can I set a maximum rental duration for an item?
- I want to send a message to only my homeowner/non-contractor customers.
- When ordering a 10-yard dumpster, I need to know if they want the high wall or low wall type.
List of Availability Rules and Descriptions. Only current rules with active functionality are displayed below:
