Managing Lot Zones

Lot Zones in OPS-COM allow administrators to define specific geographical or logical areas within a parking lot. This feature is crucial for managing pricing variations, access controls, and enforcement strategies tailored to different sections of a larger lot, enhancing flexibility and precision in parking operations.

Using this Feature

The Manage Lot Zones page provides a straightforward interface to add, edit, and delete various lot zones.

1. Hover over System Configuration, then Parking, and click Manage Lot Zones.

Adding Lot Zones
  1. Click the Add Lot Zone button.
  2. Complete the two required fields:
    • Name: The full, descriptive name of the Lot Zone (e.g., "Day Care Center").
    • Short Name: A shorter name used, for instance, with handheld devices (e.g., "DAY").
  3. Click Save Changes when finished to add the new zone to the list.
Editing Lot Zones
  1. Locate the Lot Zone you wish to modify in the list.
  2. Click the Edit button next to the Lot Zone.
  3. Enter the desired changes to the zone's name.
  4. Click Save Changes to apply your updates.
Deleting Lot Zones

A Lot Zone can only be deleted if no records are currently associated with it. Administrators must first ensure that the zone is not in use (e.g., linked to any specific parking spaces, permits, or configurations within lots) before it can be removed. 

  1. Locate the Lot Zone you wish to remove from the list.

  2. Click the Delete button next to the Lot Zone.

  3. A confirmation window will appear.

  4. If you are sure you wish to delete the zone, click Delete in the confirmation window.
