Phase 3 - 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.

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.
