PT> Maintenance> Status

Create a Status in PT

 

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.
