Performing Permit Rollovers
To begin a rollover hover over Permits and click Active Sales Window. Click Rollover Users to launch the Rollover Wizard utility.
Important
Before a rollover can be performed you must make sure that the new sales window you are rolling into has a start date that is equal to or greater than the end date of your previous sales window.
You may perform the steps outlined in the Sales Window Management and Credit Card Management in OPS-COM articles, to show you how you can set up sales windows before performing a rollover.
Select Rollover Options
At this point, we have the ability to select what user types we wish to roll over, or simply leave it as the default of All User Types.
We can also select the lot we wish to roll over. In this example, we focus on the After4PM Lot where we have a single permit available to roll over.
With the lot selected, click Confirm Rollover to begin the rollover process.
The screen will refresh with a list of permits available to rollover.
Note the reference at the top of the page indicating we are rolling over permits from the Yearly 2019 Sales Window to the Yearly 2020 Sales Window.
Permit Processing
It is important to note how the permits can be processed after or during the rollover process. The system is set up to automatically roll over permits that have been paid through gateway payment types such as Mastercard, Visa. Payroll Deduction etc.
In this example, Users will be rolled over but will need to make a payment in order to secure their Permit. However, if the user has a payment subscription setup they will be rolled over and the payment will be processed automatically.
Note that the Process Payment will be automatically toggled on (will be processed) as well as the Credit Card Type appears in the button for users that can be processed automatically. If for any reason, the person is not continuing to park in a given lot, simply exclude them from the rollover by unchecking the corresponding checkbox under Rollover.
