their expiry date (shelf life), and then click on the “Create Tickets” button.
Shelf Life
refers to how long the ticket is good sitting in the drawer until it expires. If you
print a sheet of tickets each good for 7 days of access with a
Shelf Life
of 240 days and
they are not used the system will delete them from the ticket database 241 days after
their creation. If a customer activates that ticket 239 days after it is created they will still
get a full 7 days of access. If they try to activate it 243 days after it is created the ticket
will not be recognized by the system.
Shelf Life
is particularly handy for promotional
events, for example; “today only free 30 minutes access with each purchase”. Users can
not save up these promotional tickets as you can set their S
helf Life
to 1 day for this
event. You can create tickets with different
Shelf Lives
and
Access Times
.
The Free Access System allows you to give your guests free access two different ways;
You can allow free access once per period, for example 15 minutes free every day, or 1
day free per year. This is great for a coffee shop or restaurant that wants to advertise
free internet access but prevent guests from taking up a table for hours upon hours. The
guests will still get your welcome screen when they first log on, and if they qualify for free
access (if they have not had free access already in the predefined period) then they will
be invited to try the access for free. Once the free period has expired the guest will be
required to enter a valid ticket number.
The system will automatically generate the appropriate buttons and boxes on your
welcome screen; If you have not printed any tickets and have enabled free access , then
the system will not display a box to enter access tickets. If you have not enabled free
access and have created tickets then only the ticket box will be displayed on your
welcome screen. If all of your tickets have been activated or expired then the system will
remove the ticket box from the welcome screen.
