User Guide: Executive Travel — Executive Protection
Overview
The Executive Travel process has been enhanced to support structured travel planning and Executive Protection (EP) operations: a single travel request can now generate Travel and Travel Leg operations, manage hotels and venues as Protected Assets, track expenses, and assign EP contacts.
What's New
- Travel Legs — the Executive Travel flow now creates a Physical Security Operation ticket for each leg of the travel, under new PSO classes.
- Hotels and venues as Protected Assets — locations connected to the travel are created/connected as Protected Assets (with Hotel and Event Venue building types available).
- EP information subtask — a subtask is created to fill out Executive Protection information for the travel.
- EP contact assignment — assign an Executive Protection contact to each travel leg.
- Financial information — record expense/financial details on the travel operation and its legs.
- EP Contractor & Agent Roster tables — new tables to manage EP contractors and the agent roster, so EP contacts can be selected from managed rosters.
- Cleaned-up 'Person' Protected Asset form — simplified form for person-type protected assets used in EP scenarios.
