Troubleshooting
I cannot find the template I want
- Try searching by keyword (e.g., "twilight", "rain", "weekend").
- Check the correct category (Time, Demand, Weather, Event, Seasonal).
The template rule is not taking effect
- Ensure the rule is Active and the time window matches your test slot.
- Increase the order if another rule is winning.
- Use Preview to confirm the rule matches.
The discount/premium is too strong
- Edit the rule and lower the percentage/amount.
- Narrow the time window or days to reduce impact.
Template Best Practices
Start Simple
- Begin with 2-3 basic templates
- Monitor results for 2-4 weeks
- Add complexity gradually
