Auto-hotlisting is a feature that enables resorts to restrict lift access by pass media code for guests who do not have a valid liability waiver. As part of the sale of a product that requires a liability waiver, Aspenware provides the ability to flag pass media codes that are in need of a valid authorization profile in RTP. Then, once the waiver is signed through Aspenwareā€™s Resort Tools, Arrival or Commerce platform, hotlisting is removed and the guest may access the lift.

This feature is available for resorts that have purchased Arrival or Resort Tools and use RTP as their point-of-sale system.

When Should I Use This Feature?

This feature should be used if you want to restrict guests who do not have valid liability waivers on file from accessing their media-accessible activity.

Prerequisites

Ensure that products are configured as they normally would in RTP by attaching Authorization Types to product components.Ā  Typically Authorization Types are added to Access components in RTP|One.

Configuration Guide

You will need to work with your Aspenware Service Agent to implement this feature.

1. Complete the questionnaire

To begin setup of this feature, determine the answers to the following questions and submit them to your Service Agent (support@aspenware.com):

  • Is Authorization on Acess or Pass Media Components?

  • Do you want to add hotlisting to day products, season-long products, or both?

  • What is the Authorization Type code(s) youā€™d like to hotlist?

  • What is the Authorization Expiration Date?

  • What is the Hotlist date(s)?

  • What are the Access Hotlist code(s)?

2. Configure Setup Table (Aspenware)

Aspenware will set up a table in which RTP Authorization Type codes are mapped to an Access Hotlist code and a stored procedure is then scheduled to run every X minutes.Ā 

3. Customize Stored Procedure (Optional - Aspenware)

As an option, we can customize the RTP stored procedure, proc_publicGetCustomerAuthorizationValidation to prevent the RTP authorization window from popping up when completing an RTP transaction.Ā This can be configured by RTP Client Code which allows you to define which clients should continue showing the RTP Authorization pop-up and which clients should not display it.
