Phase 3 - Setup of OPS-COM Config and Admin Options
User Setup
You must consider which user types may be useful for you to set up and what the rules appropriate to those users may be. For example, you may want to allow Staff to park in different lots than Visitors. User Types will lay the groundwork for you to do this. Once you have decided what types you will be using, you can use this wiki article to set them up.
You will also need to decide what information you will require when a new user creates a profile on your system.
Refer to this wiki article for setup information.
You will also need to set up the Vehicle description information and your offense locations.

Set up the Look and Feel of the User Portal
Template Design
OPS-COM offers powerful flexibility to allow your team to customize the look and feel of your User Portal system. This is done by designing the site template. You will require your graphics and any messaging you would like to see on the pages.
Please refer to this wiki article for more information on Template Design.
Uploading Images for Use in Templates
To place images in the different templates, you must upload them to the File Manager.
Please refer to this wiki article for more information.
Email Template Setup
Email Templates that are created for communications with your clients are stored in this area in OPS-COM. Currently, you can edit the look and feel. In the future, you will be able to set up your email templates.
For more information about editing Email Templates, refer to this wiki article.
System Messaging
System messages allow information to be shared across multiple pages through the use of short code tokens and they also deliver the content to your clients that is important to you.
The User Portal is the site you will send your clients to. From there they will create an account, manage their vehicles, and purchase temporary and standard permits. Your staff can customize the look and feel of this portal by editing the standard templates that come with OPS-COM. Please refer to the System Messaging Checklist for very detailed information.

Make sure you are happy with all messaging that is presented to your clients.
