12. | Use the Revert button to cancel adding a travel type. This only works if the travel type has not been saved.
13. | Saving the travel type makes it available on the Travel Request for Username (Request ID) page. Click the Save button.
14. | The travel type Other is now added.
15. | Next, modify the description for the Other travel type. By default, the first row is automatically selected. When modifying or deleting a travel type, ensure the row you want to take action on is selected. You can click anywhere in the row to select it. Click the row header.
