Setting Up A Lot To Be Visible and Available To The End User

This instruction outlines the six factors that come into play when creating a lot for permit sales that will determine if the lot is visible and available to the user when selecting lots to purchase permits for.

Quick Steps:

1. Hover over System Configuration and click on System Settings. Click on Permits and find Show Only Visible lots. Enable Show Only Visible Lots to only view visible lots and leave it disabled to view visible and non-visible lots.
2. Return to the Dashboard and hover over Parking Management then Lot Administration click on Pricing & Lot Admin. This will direct you to the Lot Administration page.
3. Click on Add New Lot. Check Visible to allow users to the lot. Fill out any remaining details and click Update Lot.
4. Ensure the lot is not marked as Temporary Only. This setting can be found in the Temporary Permits tab when creating or editing your lot.
5. Hover over Parking Management then Lot Administration and click Allocate. Find your lot and add permits.
6. Hover over Permits then click on Sales Windows. This will take you to the Manage Permit Sales Window page. Click on Add Sale Window.
7. Fill in the required fields then click Save Changes. Set the lot as active.

   Lots who's end date has passed will be located under Past Permit Sales Window and cannot be set as active. Ensure that the End date has not already passed.

8. Hover over User Management and click on User Registration. Find or create a test user. Ensure that the user type matches a type that is allowed to see the lot. Click on Login as User and check if the lot you created is available to be reserved.

If the user type you are testing does not match the lot user type, the lot will not be visible on the user side.
