Accessing Guest Pass Creator
The Groovix Guest Pass Creator can be accessed two different ways:
- In a web browser navigate to http://[ServerIP]/groovix/pactime/add_guest_users.py where [ServerIP] is the IP address of your local Groovix Server
- Clicking the “guest passes” button on the Groovix Dashboard
Using Guest Pass Creator
You can set custom values for each guest pass (or set of guest passes) by entering in values for each property. To generate guest passes, fill out the four required boxes (in beige) and any necessary optional boxes (in blue) and click the Create button. The passes will be generated and shown below along with a Print button to print out your newly generated passes.
When using guest passes with any time overrides, it is important to be aware of the following:
- plan overrides properly, a single override can still be limited if conflicted by other default time limits (ex. a daily override higher than the default weekly limit will still be limited by the default weekly limit)
- when placing a reservation in pacRez with a time override, make sure to change the duration of the reservation to match the extended amount
