Setting up the Look and Feel of the User Portal

Your staff can customize the look and feel of this portal by editing the standard templates that come with OPS-COM. Your trainer will go over how to use the Templates and System Messages.
Please refer to the System Messaging Checklist for very detailed information.

System Messaging
System messages allow information to be shared across multiple pages through the use of short code tokens and they also deliver the content to your clients that is important to you. Please refer to this wiki article for more information about setting up system messaging.
Email Template Setup
Default email templates are used when clients receive receipts/messaging for payments, password resets, incident reports, permit invoice, and appeals submitted by users. By editing these templates you are adjusting these messages to include the desired text and images you prefer. Please refer to this wiki article for more information about setting up email templates.
Invoice Template Setup
An admin has the ability to edit the look and feel of the invoice email template. Please refer to this wiki article to learn more about the various fields and how they can be added to the Invoice Email Template.
User Setup
Your Account Executive will help you determine what user types may be useful for you to setup set up and what the rules appropriate to those users may be. For example, you may want to allow Full-Time Students to park in different lots than Part-Time students. User Types will lay the groundwork for you to do this. Once you have decided what types you will be using, you can use this wiki article to set them up.
You will also need to decide what information you will require when a new user creates a profile on your system. Refer to this wiki article for setup information.
You will also need to setup set up the Vehicle description information and your locations.
ParkAdmin Setup
A powerful aspect of OPS-COM is the ability to setup set up Virtual Parking lots and segregate them into Lot Groups and Zones. You will also have to give consideration to the types of permits and the rules for each permit type that you would like to use. For example, you may want to allow for permits that are sold daily or monthly.
Your Training Coordinator will discuss this in detail with you. Before discussing it, review the information in this section of the wiki .
ViolationAdmin Setup
ViolationAdmin uses innovative mobile technology to efficiently track, manage and record violations to support your parking environment. To setup set up this module, you will be required to complete a number of tasks. These tasks are listed below.

Your Account Executive will be in contact to ensure you are getting the correct tickets and that you approve the design. This can have a long lead time and should be done quickly. If you are sourcing your own Violation stock please ensure you allow yourself 4-6 weeks to have them printed and shipped to you.
Input your Offences
OffenceAdmin allows Administrators to add, remove and edit the offences that are used to issue Violations. Fine amounts are set and the discount for each offence is administered here. You must populate your Ticket Type groups and your corresponding offenses. For information about this refer to this wiki article.
