    Procedure

    1. All > Schedule Optimization > Configuration > Scheduling Attributes
    2. Choose Straight-line or Beans.ai in the travel estimate provider field.
      Note:
      Beans.ai operates on a bring your own license (BYOL) licensing model. If Beans.ai is not configured, travel estimates will default to straight-line.
    3. Open the Straight line travel estimate configuration record.
    4. On the form, fill in the name and description fields.
    5. Add the speed limit for the region in the General tab.
    6. Enter a value in the Multipliers tab.
      The multipliers defined in the straight-line calculation, are the values that the estimated straight-line travel time is multiplied by, depending on the time bracket the estimate falls in. If the travel time is less than 15 minutes, multiply by two or more, to increase the estimated travel time. If the travel time is greater than 15 minutes, multiply by 0.5 or less to decrease the estimated travel time.
