Lot Visibility Settings

Introduction

Lot visibility has been changed to have three options:

  • Hidden - lot is not visible and not available to book permits from
  • Visible - lot is visible and can be booked from
  • Hidden But Accessible - lot is not visible, but can still be booked from if the user accesses it through a direct link, such as from scanning a QR code
In support of event parking, this can be used to make a lot intended for an event that can only be booked from by users who have been given the direct link to the lot. A direct link may be provided by email or from scanning the lot QR code.
This can be used in combination with lot passwords to make a lot that can only be booked from by users given a direct link and password to the lot.

OtherUsage

  • Lots that are hidden but accessible will no longer appear for users on the permits page or the real-time map.

  • Need to confirm the booking pages do not show lots marked as hidden but accessible, but permit booking is still allowed by direct link.

  • Applies to:

    • QR/Guest booking (this is only relevant to the real-time map, which uses the guest checkout)

    • Temp permit booking

    • Standard permit booking

  • When looking at the permit booking page on the admin-side for a user, hidden lots will still be hidden when using the 'user's default lots' view, as this list represents what the user would see when booking a permit on the user side. 

  • Select the 'all lots' option in the menu to view hidden lots, including hidden but accessible lots.
