Lot Value Report
The Lot Value Report provides a real-time snapshot of permit utilization across all parking lots. Its primary purpose is to help administrators understand current lot occupancy and calculate the total value of all active permits currently assigned to their facilities. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators.
Setup and Configuration
The Lot Value Report is a standard reporting feature within the permit management module and requires no specialized system setup to run. However, administrators must have the appropriate reporting and permit management permissions assigned to their user role to access this page.
Using this Feature
Administrators can use this report to view live data reflecting the exact moment the report is generated. Because it tracks currently active permits rather than historical sales transactions, the figures will continually fluctuate as permits expire or are newly issued.
Accessing the Report
-
Hover over Permit Management, click Reports, and select Lot Value Report.
-
Review the data on the Lot Usage screen, which displays a breakdown of permit distribution.
-
Click the Export to Excel button if you require the data for further manipulation or external reporting.
Key Information Displayed
-
Rented: The number of permits currently assigned to users within that lot. This includes all active permits, such as administrative, internal, complimentary, or temporary permits, regardless of whether a financial transaction occurred.
-
Total Available: The maximum capacity or total number of permits allocated for that specific lot.
-
Utilization: The relationship between rented permits and total capacity, expressed as a percentage.
-
Total Value: The cumulative value of all active permits currently assigned to the lot.
Best Practices and Considerations
-
Avoid using this report for financial audits: Do not use this report for financial auditing of monthly sales. Because this report counts non-revenue permits (like internal or special access permits), the rented count will often be higher than the totals found in revenue-specific financial reports.
-
Answer capacity inquiries: Use this report to answer capacity questions. This is the primary tool for administrators to definitively answer exactly how many permits are currently assigned to a specific lot at any given moment.
-
Save historical data manually: Export data regularly if you need to track utilization trends over time. The system does not automatically store historical "snapshots" of this specific utilization screen.
