In OPS-COM, users can add themselves to a single wait list at a time allowing admins to assign them permits when they become available. If users try to join a waitlist from a different lot they will be removed from any previous waitlists they have joined. 

In this system users will still add themselves to your wait list by logging in to the User Portal, however, now each time a permit becomes available by permit switch, permit allocation, or no-pay clearing lists these permits will be automatically added to wait list users and the Admins will be notified by email. The Admin can then notify that user that their permit is ready for them to pay for and give them a set amount of time to pay for that permit.


Note

Summer 2019: the managed wait list functionality will be available for Admins who wish to have permits automatically assigned to wait list users. Please note, if you do not enable the setting you will continue to use the older waitlist functionality.

Support Agent Notes
  • If the user has a permit and "PermitWaitListWithPermit" is turned off, then they get an error. This setting has no interface and must be set via the database directly.
  • If the user is already on the waiting list for the Lot Group Category, or the lot itself, it returns an error.
  • If the user already has a waiting list record and the system doesn't allow for multiple waiting lists, they should see a warning they'll be removed from the previous one.

  • If the waitlist option is not enabled for a lot admins can still see a waitlist option and reserve the waitlist for users
