There are multiple options in this tool:

You may also add lockers by Locker Range which will allow you to add a numerical sequence (Start and End) along with an optional Prefix or Postfix.
NOTEYou may also use a combination of these two methods. In our example we are creating LL001, LL002 and LL006 via the Specific Locker method and simultaneously creating a Locker Range of LL007 through to LL010.
ALSO NOTE: You may opt to create lockers in an area and temporarily have them not visible to the renter. This would allow an admin to prep an area and put the lockers up for rent at a later date, To do so deselect the Visible button.

If the sales window has been associated with any sales, you won't be able to make any changes to this sales window and you will have to contact OPS-COM to make these changes for you. Sales windows that cannot be edited will have a faded Edit button. 

image.png

Activating Sales Windows

Activating sales windows determine whether users can purchase permits in a given building area or not.

image.png

Once you have activated a locker sales window and sold lockers within that window, marking it as inactive will cause all users to lose the current lockers in that window. You can make that window active again which will display all the lockers on the user's profiles. You are able to have a total of 4 sales windows active at a time by creating windows in Yearly (Y), Monthly (M), Semester (S), and Other (O).

Purchasing a Locker Using the Sales Window

Now that the sales window has been activated it can be used with a building by selecting the building type. This will automatically associate that building to whatever locker sales window is currently active and you only have to worry about managing your sales windows at this point. 

Archiving Past Sales Windows 

To archive the sales window click the Archive button

You will then see the sales window moved to the Past Locker Window section
