What is the required license plates feature?
The required license plates feature mandates that employees must enter a valid license plate number before they can reserve a parking spot. This helps in managing parking resources effectively and ensuring that all parking spots are associated with a specific vehicle.
How to enable the required license plates feature
Navigate to parking settings:
Go to the "Settings" menu within the Dibsido app.
Select the "Parking" option to view and manage your parking settings.
Go to features tab: Within the parking settings, click on the "Features" tab.
Enable the required license plates feature:
In the parking settings, look for the option labeled "Required License Plates."
Toggle the switch to "On" to activate this feature.
Impact of enabling this feature:
Once enabled, every employee must have a license plate number on file before they can create a parking reservation. If an employee does not have a license plate entered, they will be prompted to add one when attempting to reserve a spot.
How employees can manage their license plates
Default license plate: Employees can set a default license plate number that will be automatically used for all parking reservations.
Updating the license plate: Employees have the flexibility to update their license plate number before each reservation if they are using a different vehicle. This can be done during the reservation process.
How administrators can manage license plates
Adding or updating license plates: Administrators can add or update an employee's license plate number in the "Settings" menu under "Users." To do this, select the specific user and update their license plate information in their user details.
Benefits of using the required license plates feature
Enhanced parking management: Ensuring that all parking reservations are linked to a specific vehicle helps prevent unauthorized use of parking spots and provides better tracking of parking usage.
Flexibility for users: Employees can easily update their license plate information as needed, providing flexibility for those who may drive different vehicles on different days.
By enabling the required license plates feature in Dibsido, you can ensure that your parking resources are used efficiently and securely, with every reservation tied to a valid vehicle license plate.
