Single Allocate

The Single Allocate tool allows administrators to add individual permits to a specific parking lot, rather than generating an entire block or range of numbers. Its primary purpose is to help efficiently manage one-off permit additions and make quick inventory adjustments. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators.

Setup and Configuration

There is no specific system setup or configuration required to use the Single Allocate feature. It is a standard administrative tool available to users with the appropriate lot and permit management permissions.

Using this Feature

Follow these steps to allocate a single permit number to an existing lot.

1. Hover over Parking Management and click Lot Administration then Allocate.

2. Locate the lot you wish to add a permit to on the Permit Number Allocation page.

3. Click the Add Permits To Lot button.

4. Enter the desired permit number into the appropriate field on the Add Permits screen.

5. Click the Add Permits button to finalize the allocation.

A pop-up message will appear on the screen confirming that your changes were successfully made.

Best Practices and Considerations

• Bulk Additions: Use the standard range allocation feature if you need to add multiple sequential permits at once. The Single Allocate tool is best reserved for one-off additions, replacements, or custom permit numbers.

• Verify Inventory: Always double-check your work by navigating to the Permit Search utility after adding a new permit. This ensures the permit was successfully generated and assigned to the correct lot before it is sold or assigned to a user.
