The Permit Areas are what determine the duration and price of any permits you create against a Skip Order

Create a New Permit Area

  1. Hover over Administration

  2. Click on Lookups

  3. Click on Permit Area

  4. Click Add a New Item at the top of the screen

  5. Fill in the details as required:

    1. Code - is the name used to represent the permit area and will appear as the "Authorised By" field on the main screen. Normally defined as the area and days e.g. Barnet14, Lewisham7, Reading Daily; this makes it clearer when adding a permit to an order.

    2. Charge 1 - Cost of the permit

    3. Email - Email address of authorising contact.

    4. Days - Number of days the permit is valid for. When a permit is added the days are used to set the permit end date.

    5. Phone - Permit provider phone number e.g. council contact number

    6. Fax - Permit provider fax number e.g. council contact number

    7. Group - Used on a user basis. Each user of Weighsoft has a "Permit Group" field in their user settings. This can be used to limit use of permit areas to certain users (so for example a "Nottingham Permit" user cannot see or use the "London" permit groups.

    8. Lead Days - The number of days it takes to get the permit. Informational Only.

    9. Cash Portal Enabled - Required only if the portal "Display Cash Portal Enabled Permits Only" setting is on and the Cash portal is in use.

Note: All Permit prices should be generated from the Permit Area Lookup in order for the system to make calculations such as multiple permits correctly.
