What is Ancillary Data?

Ancillary data is one of the primary layers of settings within One Mobility, it allows agencies to customize the options for ancillary type fields found in One Mobility. For example, the options in a Disability Types dropdown list can be tailored to the specific disability types that are most encountered by the transit agency.

Ancillary Data in itself is layered. Some types of ancillary data can only be created if other types of ancillary data have already been defined. For example, to define Passenger Types, Space Types and Fare Types must already be defined. If a drop-down list is provided, there's a good chance itvcontains a type of ancillary data. If the dropdown list is empty, it almost certainly contains ancillary data.

Remember:
Ancillary Types are not the same thing as ancillary data. To summarize, Ancillary Types are typically dropdown lists that apply to bookings, client profiles, etc., when set. Ancillary data on the other hand, are the selectable options within these dropdown lists, and these options are defined in the Ancillary page.

What's on the page?


The Ancillary page with numbered callouts denoting different parts of the page.
  • The number one inside a red circleThe Search pane contains default ancillary data types, and when selected, allows you to create ancillary data within that ancillary type. Most of these ancillary types are considered common data, which means they are applicable to most agencies. However, there are some ancillary types that only exist for a specific agency.

    Ancillary data reflects the needs of each individual transit agency. As a result, information defined for the space types or mobility types used by one transit agency typically does not reflect the information defined for another transit agency.
