Configuration: Pass Checker

Pass Checker enables guests to enter their card number (passmedia# or RFID#) to check if their media will work at a specific lift. Among many use cases, guests can check if their pass is hotlisted due to incomplete tasks or if their pass is blacked out for the selected date.

Detailed Setup Guide

This section describes all required steps to set up the feature after prerequisite tasks have been completed.

1. Input Default Pass Checker POS Location ID

The Pass Checker POS Location ID is a setting from RTP|One, and can be sourced from your RTP|One administrator, (RTP|One/ Access Control Admin / Access Control Management / Access Location). This setting serves as a default lift or access point that passes will be validated against in the instance that additional “accesslocations” are not defined.

Go to the General tab and add and enter RTP’s Access Location Code (also referred to as the Location ID) in the Pass Checker POS Location ID field, then click the UPDATE GENERAL SETTINGS button.

2. Create “AccessLocations” Mappings (optional)

If utilized, AccessLocation Mappings provides the ability to allow guests to check access to specific lifts. It also allows the resort to customize the Lift’s display name to the guest. If Mappings are not used, only the default Location ID setup in Step 1 will be used and no Lift Name or selection will be visible to the guest.

Go to Collections and select “AccessLocations”

In the Name field input a display name that will be visible to guests.

In the Value field input the corresponding Lift’s Access Location Code (also referred to as Location ID) from RTP.

Then click the ADD COLLECTION ITEM button.

Repeat this process for additional Lifts if required. If necessary, you can edit your Collection Item by selecting it, then clicking the UPDATE COLLECTION ITEM button. You can also delete using these same steps by clicking the DELETE COLLECTION ITEM button.

3) Create Pass Checker HotList Reason display mappings (optional)

To replace RTP’s Hotlist message with more appropriate customer-facing language follow the same process from https://aspenware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DB/pages/1502838928/Configuration+Pass+Checker#2.-Create-%E2%80%9CAccessLocations%E2%80%9D-Mappings for the Collection “Pass Checker-Hot List Reasons”.

The Name field will be the text displayed to guests if their Pass Checker check comes back with a corresponding hotlist code from RTP.

Name: Input the text to be displayed to guests

Value: Input the hotlist code from RTP.

Click the ADD COLLECTION ITEM button

Repeat this process for additional hotlist codes if required. If necessary, you can edit your Collection Item by selecting it, then clicking the UPDATE COLLECTION ITEM button. You can also delete using these same steps by clicking the DELETE COLLECTION ITEM button.
