The user or partner can add reports and processes (codeunits) to the solution and place access in various locations in the solution.
The difference between added functionality via this feature and features added as object changes (via extensions) is that the user or partner can easily place the enhancement where it is appropriate, based on the related reservation type or the activity type entry.
For example, features that only apply to a certain activity, are only accessible on reservation or activity pages, which are then standing on a record belonging to the same reservation type or activity type. Special golf functions, for example, could only be accessed in a golf appointment and so on.
