Patrol rounds

Walking the lot with a record attached: what each plate comes back as, and what a round leaves behind.

This is for owners, managers and enforcement staff. It is the Patrol tab of the Enforcement page.

A round is a walk of the lot with a record attached. Start a round, optionally for one lot, then type each plate you see and press enter. Each one comes back as one of:

  • Permitted — a vehicle registered to an occupant with a space here.
  • Guest — a vehicle on a visitor pass that is valid now.
  • Not ours — no permit and no pass. This is the point of the exercise.
  • Violation — you recorded one against it from that row.

The same plate typed twice in one round counts once. End the round closes it, and the round is kept whether it found anything or not.

Recent rounds lists who walked, how many plates were checked, how many were not ours, and how many violations were recorded.

Rounds are started by hand when somebody walks the lot. Nothing schedules them, reminds anybody or reads plates from a camera.

Does this answer it?
