Removing a Vehicle

When would we use this?

A vehicle can not be completely removed from OPS-COM, however, it can be removed from a person's user profile. You may want to remove a vehicle if:

  • The Vehicle changes owners
  • A Vehicle was placed on the wrong user profile 

If the vehicle had only one user it will be marked as archived.  If the vehicle has two users, the vehicle will be removed from the profile you perform the removal on but remains under the second profile. Any violations on the vehicle would remain in place under that second user's profile.

Important - Before removing a vehicle

If there is only one driver listed on the vehicle it is important to ensure any outstanding balances are cleared before removing the vehicle.


  1. In the vehicle listing in the user's profile you will see an "x" in the vehicle record. 
  2. Clicking the x to start the process.

3.  You will be prompted to confirm the removal. Once you click OK the vehicle will be removed.  The vehicle will remain in the system but not be associated with a user.

image.png



What is merged and what is NOT?

When a merge is performed the important thing to understand is that the user you are merging TO should be the one with the most up to date or accurate information.
The tool uses a two-column window to facilitate this process.
The TO user will be in the right column. The information for the TO user will take precedence over the FROM user. The FROM user will appear in the left column.

Where information exists in the MERGE TO user it will remain in the profile post-merge.
If there are fields that have no information in the MERGE TO profile yet something exists in the FROM user, the merge will bring this information into the resulting single user profile

The merged items include 


IMPORTANT: The user selected in the left column will be archived. The user in the right column will remain in the database.

Primary Driver

Why is there a Primary Driver?

The Primary Driver will receive communication from the system such as violation notices. There is a nightly script that runs which will designate primary driver to any vehicle that has been added to the system.  If there is no Primary Driver on a vehicle when an appeal is launched, the person launching the appeal will be automatically designated as the Primary Driver.

Who is the Primary Driver?

To access and edit the Primary Driver setting for a vehicle. Go to the user's profile and click the Vehicles tab.  If any vehicle has more than one driver associated, you will see a list of users as indicated in the screenshot.  The current Primary Driver is indicated in bold text.

image.png

Edit a Primary Driver

To edit the Primary Driver information click on the Plate link to access the Edit Vehicle screen.

image.png


In the Edit Vehicle popup screen you will see the primary driver field. This is a drop down menu that allows you to select one of the associated drivers as the Primary Driver.

image.png

Click on the field to access the drop down list. In our example here we are switching the primary driver from Jrockwood to Mashbury.

Once you have selected your preferred Primary Driver click on Update Vehicle to save your choice.

image.png

Notice now that the listing has Mashbury as the Primary Driver.

image.png

Troubleshooting Tip

In some rare cases there are legacy records that might have multiple Primary Drivers associated to the same vehicle. In cases like this, you can resolve the issue by going through the steps described above. By setting the Primary Driver through this tool the system will take the latest selected driver as the preferred Primary Driver and remove the designation from any other driver in the system.

Signs you have two Primary Drivers

If there are two or more Primary Drivers designated for a single vehicle it could cause violations to appear duplicated in the payments screen. If you are experiencing duplication in violations please check the Primary Driver status for the vehicle as a first step to resolving the issue.

Duplicate Vehicle Handling

What are Duplicate Vehicles?

Vehicles in OPS-COM are unique based on plate, plate type, and state/province. Often, duplicates can appear in the system due to the plate type or location being recorded incorrectly . Duplicates can create headaches since two similar vehicles may generate duplicate entries when really they are the same vehicle.

Some scenarios that might require a vehicle merge are:

Unique Vehicle Identifiers

There are three items which create a unique identifier for a vehicle.

These three pieces of information are the minimum information you can include when entering a vehicle. For example: One might think that the plate number and state origin of the plate would be enough to make the vehicle unique in the system however this does not take into account the fact that a commercial plate number might repeat the same number sequence as a regular passenger vehicle plate. It is possible to have ABC123 as a passenger plate as well as ABC123 being used on a commercial plate.  All three of these unique identifiers are required when inputting a vehicle in the system.

Entering Vehicles

The more information you supply when adding a vehicle the better the chance the system will work efficiently and warn you when you are adding a vehicle more than once.

image.png

The best way to ensure easy identification of specific vehicles is to also include the following information:

Vehicle DNTT

What is a DNTT?

The DNTT feature allows administrators to place a condition on a vehicle that will warn officers in the field not to ticket or tow a vehicle.

This is useful in many situations.

For example: A photographer on assignment is photographing different buildings on campus over a series of days. An administrator could register their vehicle and apply a DNTT for the days of their assignment on campus. No matter where they go on campus, they would be able to park without getting ticketed or towed.

Example 2: The Dean of the School is traveling around the campus for a special event. A DNTT can be applied to his vehicle so that for the time frame of the event he can park outside of his regular lot without penalty. This is what we affectionately refer to as the Anti Embarrassment feature of the tool.

Setting up a DNTT

Go to the user's profile and select the Vehicles tab.

Select Vehicle

Select the vehicle of interest by clicking the Add DNTT link.

image.png

Select Time Frame

Set up for a temporary time frame by choosing a From Date and time and a To Date and time.

image.png

In this case, the Vehicle with Plate JROCK has a DNTT in the Administration building area lasting from Midnight July 21st to 23:59 the same day.

A new location could be configured or added to the system that reads Campus Wide, which would tell officers the vehicle can park anywhere on campus without penalty during the duration of the DNTT time frame.

When a number is entered in the 'Number of Instances' field, the report will return users with that number of incidents or more.

For example, if you enter 2, the report is going to list users who have had 2 or more DNTT permissions granted in that time frame.

The report requires the admin to have the manage vehicle permission with their role found under system config.

Required Role Permissions

In order for your admins to properly use this functionality, they require you to have them added to or create a new role that has Edit Forms and View Forms enabled. These are the only permissions required to use Forms.

The Form Builder - Create screen will display, some options will be available after clicking Create Form.  

After creating the form the Form Builder - Edit screen will appear with three additional tabs that must be completed. Form Description, Post Form, and Questions. You will also have the option to add an External Form field. Ensure you click Update Form after each tab is completed to save the form details.

Form Description

External Form

By supplying a URL in the External Form field, you can link to other forms created by third-party systems such as Survey Money. The URL must have https:// in front of it. EX: https://google.ca. Adding a URL such as www.google.ca will not work.

The Form Description tab is pre-filled with the information you submitted on the previous screen. Administrators have the ability to edit the details.

Post Form

The Post Form tab is where administrators provide instruction for what happens after the form is completed/submitted by the user. Enable the appropriate checkboxes for the actions that should take place when a user submits the form. If you select the option to Mail to specified email, administrators must provide the Email Subject, an 'Email To' address and 'Email From' address. Enter the message text that you want to appear on the form completion page when a user submits their form.

Take Note

If you select the option to 'Show the form submission back to the user', you must copy/paste the following token message into the Completion Text field:

  • [%%FORM_RESULTS%%] - ARO user side (user paths end in .aro)
  • {$FORM_RESULTS} - PHP user side (user paths end in .php)

Questions

The Questions Tab is the area where form questions are entered and the form database is built. Depending on the type of questions that are being asked, administrators will be asked to complete additional fields. Click the Add button to add additional questions. As labels/questions are added, they will appear at the top of the screen. The Switch image () to the left allows administrators to change the order of the labels/questions. The Edit button allows administrators to edit label/questions information.

Click the Update Form button to save changes. 

(TBD) A new tab for Report Options becomes available after you update the form.  This tab allows administrators to specify how they want to show/hide the form data in their reports. 

The first section allows administrators to specify which of the four fields they want to be able to display on the summary report to help you identify what form entry you want to view. 

The second section allows administrators to specify which of the four fields they want to be able to hide on the summary report if it has a value. This is useful for hiding the forms that have been approved.

Take Note

Additional fields can be shown in a report by using the Bulk Actions button when viewing a form summary report in the List Forms (old forms) option.
