Lockers with User Types & Prefix Options

Lockers with User Types is an advanced Lockers system that builds on the existing locker system by adding a couple of features. These features add the ability to limit who can purchase a locker in a defined area and add the ability to add an alpha to a locker number so that the locker number seen by the User is representative of what is actually in the locker and or adding a Building designation to the viewed locker number.

Locker User Types and Locker Prefix are enabled by Tomahawk.

Locker User Types

In the Admin View of a User's Profile and the Locker User type Admin:

• "Locker Type Name" is the User type that shows up in the user's profile and defines what lockers are available to the User with that type assigned.
• Locker User Types are defined in the Admin section

• Locker User Types is not editable or viewable on the User Side. 
  • What the user sees or experiences is:  they only see Lockers that are shown available and are the ones associated to the User type
• Lockers are setup with user types (very similar to how Lots are in parking) and are associated to the building area
  
  

Locker Prefix

• This allows the Admin to assign locker numbers which may have an Alphanumeric display on the physical locker and simplify what the User sees.
  As the system can only allow numeric numbering of the lockers and also does not allow numbers to be repeated, this functionality was added to facilitate the need to use numbers that might be the same from building to building.
• The way it works is as follows: Lockers that have numbers on them and are not able to be renumbered cost effectively are give a prefix in the numbering schema when being set up in the system.
  Example: Building "A" has lockers 2000 to 2049 Totaling 50 Lockers, Building "B" has lockers 2000 to 2049 totaling 50. (this could happen floor to floor too)
  • When Building "A" is set up its Prefix will be 100=BA,  and Building "B" will be 200=BB. The numbering Schema will be set in "Allocate" by adding the prefix to the actual locker number

• • The User when going to to order a locker will be displayed the Locker as  "BA2000" instead of  "1002000" creating a less confusing definition of the locker for the User
  • The Admin benefits by being able to attach a building designator to the locker regardless if they have repeating locker numbers or not. 
    In this case, all lockers in building "B" would have a "BB" before the locker number.
