Single Allocate
The Single Allocate tool allows administrators to add individual permits to a specific parking lot, rather than generating an entire block or range of numbers. Its primary purpose is to help efficiently manage one-off permit additions and make quick inventory adjustments. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators.
Setup and Configuration
There is no specific system setup or configuration required to use the Single Allocate feature. It is a standard administrative tool available to users with the appropriate lot and permit management permissions.
Using this Feature
Follow these steps to allocate a single permit number to an existing lot.
-
Hover over Parking Management and click Lot Administration then Allocate.
-
Locate the lot you wish to add a permit to on the Permit Number Allocation page.
-
Click the Add Permits To Lot button.
-
Enter the desired permit number into the appropriate field on the Add Permits screen.
-
Click the Add Permits button to finalize the allocation.
A pop-up message will appear on the screen confirming that your changes were successfully made.
Best Practices and Considerations
-
Bulk Additions: Use the standard range allocation feature if you need to add multiple sequential permits at once. The Single Allocate tool is best reserved for one-off additions, replacements, or custom permit numbers.
-
Verify Inventory: Always double-check your work by navigating to the Permit Search utility after adding a new permit. This ensures the permit was successfully generated and assigned to the correct lot before it is sold or assigned to a user.
