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 1 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 1 daily use.
• The 25% special is linked to the 1-Day Adult Entrance item.
• A SysManager > Activities > System Lists > Card Activity Definitions instance is created for the card numbers:
The following Action macro is specified:
<ABSENT>
SELECTITEM('PASSES MARKETING TRADESHOW ")
SETPASSSWIPE(<CARD_SWIPE>)
DISPLAY(Please Collect Guest Information)
</ABSENT>
<PRESENT>
IGNOREERRORS()
SELECTIVESPECIAL('25% ')
VALIDATE(S<CARD_NO>)
</PRESENT>
The following functionality is provided: If the card number swiped/scanned in Sales is not currently located within the swipe_no field of an existing pass record in Salesware module, auto-sell the TRADESHOW pass item and prompt the operator to collect guest information. Automatically insert the card number swiped into the swipe_no field of the auto-sold pass. If the card number swiped/scanned in Sales is currently located within the swipe_no field of an existing pass record in Salesware module, apply the 25% discount to the eligible item included in the sale and validate it (using the card number) based on the validation template of the item being discounted.
The first time a Trade Show Card is presented to an operator, the operator swipes the card, a pass is auto-sold, the card number swiped is inserted into the swipe_no field of the auto-sold pass record, and the operator collects guest information. Subsequent swipes of the same card discount the appropriate items already added to the sale (in this particular example, only the 1-Day Adult Entrance ticket) and validate the pass. This results in deduction of 1 daily use.
