Sample program
The Marketing department wants to issue 10,000 cards at various trade shows in the area. These Trade Show Cards provide a 25% discount on a 1-Day Adult Entrance ticket. The cards can only be redeemed once per day. The Marketing Department wants to collect guest information for those cards that are redeemed. In order to prevent having to manually enter 10,000 pass sales to generic guest records through Salesware, considering only a fraction of the cards might be redeemed, the business decides to use the card activity table functionality for this program.
Configuration:
• Valid sixteen digits numbers are obtained for the program and given to a printing vendor in order to encode %B plus the card numbers into either magswipes or barcodes on the pre-printed cards.
• Testing of a sample from the printer ensures that the cards are encoded properly.
• A pass item is configured that is auto-sold when a Trade Show Card is presented the first time. The pass is given one use per day and is valid for the current operating season.
• A 25% special is configured for use in the program. This special is configured to Force Validation When Applied.
• The 1-Day Adult Entrance item is configured with optional validation that deducts one daily use.
• The 25% special is linked to the 1-Day Adult Entrance item.
• A Card Activity table definition is created for the card numbers:
