Managing Validator Records
This article outlines the process for adding and managing parking validations using the Validator Tool. Its primary purpose is to allow administrators to manually validate parking for specific vehicles and remove incorrect validation entries to maintain accurate reporting. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators.
Setup and Configuration
There is no specific configuration required to manage validator records, provided your administrative user role has the appropriate permissions to access the Parking Validation tools.
Using this Feature
The Validator Tool allows administrators to quickly assign validations to vehicles and manage existing entries if an error was made during data entry.
Adding a Validation Record
-
Enter the vehicle's license plate in the Plate field.
-
Click the Lot Zone drop-down menu and choose the appropriate lot.
-
Enter the required time frame in the Valid Between Dates fields.
-
Click the Validate button to create the record.
Once a record is successfully created, it will automatically appear in the Validate Parking Report.
Deleting a Validation Record
If an entry was made in error, it can be removed using the management tool.
-
Hover over Parking Management and click Parking Validation then Manage Validations.
-
Enter the Plate Number and select the Lot Zone associated with the record you wish to locate.
-
Click the Delete button next to the relevant record to select it with a checkmark.
-
Click the Archive button when prompted to confirm the removal.
A pop-up message will appear confirming the deletion of the record. Once archived, the record is immediately removed from the Validate Parking Report.
Best Practices and Considerations
-
Data Accuracy: Double-check plate numbers and lot zones before submitting a validation. Ensuring data accuracy at the point of entry reduces the administrative overhead of manually deleting and recreating records.
-
Audit Trails: Regularly review the Validate Parking Report to ensure that active validations are legitimate. While deleted records are removed from standard reports, utilizing proper archive procedures ensures system data integrity is maintained behind the scenes.
