Create a Reservation Policy
You can use reservation policies to group similar reservations together.
Create the reservation policy first, then add the policy to reservations to allow a blueprint creator to use
the reservation policy in a blueprint.
The policy is created as an empty container.
You can control the display of reservation policies when adding, editing, or deleting by using the Filter By
Type option on the Reservation Policies page.
