The Temporary Permit Printing feature allows administrators to search, retrieve, and batch-print temporary parking permits. Its primary purpose is to help efficiently generate physical hang tags or dash passes for users needing short-term parking access. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators.
## Setup and Configuration There is no specific configuration required to use this feature, provided your administrative user role has the appropriate permit management permissions enabled. ## Using this Feature Administrators can use this tool to print multiple temporary permits at once through a system search, or print individual permits directly from a user's account. 1. Hover over **Parking Management** and click **Permits** then **Temp Permit Printing**. 2. Click the **Retrieve** drop-down menu and choose the permit types you want to display. 3. Click the **Permit Lot** drop-down menu and choose the specific lot you are printing for. 4. Enter the **Start Date** and the **Up to and Including** date to define your search range. 5. Click the **Retrieve** button to generate the list of permits below the search criteria. 6. Enable the checkbox for each permit you wish to print from the generated list. 7. Click the **print selected hang tags** button to generate the physical permits.

Navigate to the specific user's profile and access their history. 2. Locate the **Temp Permit** section within their records. 3. Click the **printer** icon located under the **Permit #** column to print that specific permit.
