OPS-COM allows the use of a Real-Time Parking Map where users can view lots and select to purchase Temporary Parking. This article describes how to set up a lot for Real-Time temporary parking.

Configuring a Lot for Real-Time Map Usage

Important

In order to have Real-Time code functionality for each lot, you need to add the user type Guest User to the user types in your system and select it in the general tab in Lot Administration. Removing Guest User will shut off Real-Time Map code functionality for that specific lot.


System Settings

To begin using Real-Time Map for a specific lot, you must set up the functionality in Lot Administration under the Temporary Parking tab. 

You must also create a page in System Messaging under the page tab.

The page you create needs to house two lines of short code:

[real-time-map] will display a google map style window
[real-time-legend] will display a legend indicating a definition of what the colors in the map marker represent

In lot administration there are a few required configuration elements that must be in place for the map to diaplay properly.

Firstly, in the general tab you must include Guest User as a preferred user type. It can be used alone or along with other user types if you aee combining temporary parking with standard parking.

In the Zones and Locations Page You must set a map marker. The color of the marker can be whatever you like in the configuration as the color will be contralled by the lot availablity on the actual Real-Time map.
It is prefereable as well to have a description or information about the lot in the Location  field.

In the Temporary Lot tab it is essential to select the following:

  • The Maximum number of Temp Permits
  • You must select either of the 30 day setting which are Allow temp permits to be used up to 30 days or over 30 days.
  • You must indicate a Monthly cost for the Over 30 setting (in this case it is not required)
  • You must enter a daily cost
  • You must enter Hourly costs. These can be in various denominations of time. In our example 2 hour time slots designate the cost.
  • You must also select Allow this lot to appear on the Real-Time Parking map

Viewing the Real-Time Map

Once this information is configured you will be able to display the Real-Time Map by going to https://yourdomain.parkadmin.com/real-time.
Hovering over the map marker will display the Lot Name and the Location Description you configured above.

Clicking on the map marker will bring you to an inteface that shows more information about the lot availability and present a button whereby you can purchase a permit.
Click on Book Now to continue.
