Summary

The Status Maintenance window is used to create and maintain statuses. A status is a user-defined code used to describe the current state of a parking ticket.

Statuses are attached to parking tickets on the Parking Ticket Maintenance window (PT> Maintenance> Parking Ticket> General tab> Status field). Statuses can also be set up to automatically update after a parking ticket is processed through a PT batch. Those default statuses are specified on the PT Setup window (PT> Utilities> Setup).

Follow this process to create a new PT status.

Step by Step

1     View the statuses set up in the PT module.

• Open the Ticket Status Maintenance window (PT> Maintenance> Status).
• The Ticket Status Maintenance window will display all of the statuses that have been set up in the module.
• Highlight a status in the left section of the window and the fields in the Maintenance section will populate with the information attached to the selected record.
• Click the Delete icon or press DELETE to delete the selected status.
  • You will not be able to delete a status that is attached to a parking ticket. Statuses are attached to parking tickets on the Parking Ticket Maintenance window (PT> Maintenance> Parking Tickets> General tab> Status field).
• Click the Create icon or press INSERT to create a new status. This will create a new line item in the left section of the window.

2     Create a new status.

• Enter a unique Status code. This code can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters.
  • This field will not be enabled and available for editing after the status has been saved.
• Enter a description in the Description field. The Description can be up to 60 alphanumeric characters.
