The Autosale Options tab is used to specify what happens when a pass is scanned more than once in a single day (shift). This can be anywhere from doing all actions specified on the Auto Pass Validate and Auto Sales tabs each time the pass is scanned in the same day (Don’t Use Shifts option), only the first time the pass is scanned in the same day (Shift = 1 Day option) or somewhere in between by selecting specific values to change upon subsequent scans (Shift = 1 Day with different values selected in the Rules For Validating More Than Once Per Shift section). Any configuration on the Autosale Options tab affects all passes of that DCI – both existing passes and those yet to be sold.

 

A membership card is valid for 365 days from purchase. Each day that the membership card is scanned at the entrance and a $0 Membership Day Use ticket is auto-sold. This allows the business to track its annual usage of membership cards. Because the Membership Day Use product is only sold the first time a valid member pass is scanned in a day, the operator selects the Shift = 1 Day option and checks the Do not AutoSale if pass is invalid when Trickle Validating check box.

 

 

Note: If auto-selling items (especially those that have a price associated with them) with remote scanning applications such as GateKeeper and ScanMan, it is important to check the Do not AutoSale if pass is invalid when Trickle Validating check box. All off-line scans are assumed to be valid (the guest is given the benefit of the doubt). When the scanner is back on-line, the scans collected while off-line “trickle” into SalesEZ application for actual validation. Those passes and tickets scanned while off-line that were bad still record as successful validations in the data because the guests were allowed entrance. This means that any Auto Sales configured for the ticket normally also take place for invalid scans. In order to prevent the auto-sale for invalid trickled scans, check the box.
