Step 5: Add More Conditions (Optional)​

Now you can:

  • ➕ Add Another Criterion - Add more conditions to this rule
  • ✅ Finalize Rule - You're done, save it!

Want to add more? Tap on another Criterion field and repeat steps 2-4.

Important: When you add multiple conditions to ONE rule, a ride must match ALL of them.

Example: If your rule says Price >= 30.0 AND Duration <= 20, the ride must be:

  • At least $30, AND
  • No longer than 20 minutes

Both conditions must be true, or the ride won't get booked.

Step 6: Make It Enforced? (Optional)​

You might see an Enforced checkbox after adding at least one number field (Price, Hourly Rate, Mile Rate, Duration, Miles):

What does this mean?

  • ☐ Unchecked (normal): This rule only works during your scheduled hours
  • ✅ Checked (enforced): This rule works 24/7, even when you're not normally working unle4ss you limit the rule by Time and Days criteria.

Example:

  • Your normal schedule: Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM
  • You create: Price >= 100.0 and check Enforced
  • A $120 ride appears at 2 AM Saturday
  • Result: It gets booked, even though you're not normally working then
