In Depth: Generating and Importing Access Codes
1. Accessing the Code Generator and Importer
- Starting Point: To begin, click on 'Add Access Code' within the Resiada platform. This is your gateway to creating new access codes.
- Within this section, you'll find the 'Generate or Import Codes' option. Selecting this enables you to access the code generator and importer tools.
2. Selecting the Code Type
- Generating Codes: This option is for creating a set of random, unique access codes. It's ideal when you need a large number of codes and don't have specific preferences for the code strings.
- Importing Codes: If you already have a predefined list of codes, perhaps tailored to specific guests or groups, you can import them as a comma-separated list. This is useful for more personalized or targeted code distribution.
3. Customizing Code Settings
- Generated Codes:
- Prefix/Suffix Options: You can add a specific prefix and/or suffix to each code. This feature can be useful for categorizing or quickly identifying the purpose of certain codes.
- Code Length: Define the length of the randomly generated portion of the code to meet your specific requirements.
- Imported Codes:
- Input Method: Enter your pre-existing list of codes into the provided text box. Ensure these are comma-separated for accurate processing.
4. Submitting the Codes
- After setting up your codes, whether generated or imported, click ‘Save’. This final step creates or imports the access codes into the system.
5. Application and Management
- Once your codes are generated or imported, they're ready to be used for controlling access. Remember, these codes will be tied to the specific settings you've chosen, like applicable sub-blocks or other restricted event areas.
Key Considerations:
- Flexibility: The system accommodates both randomly generated and pre-defined codes, offering flexibility to event organizers.
- Customization: Prefixes, suffixes, and code lengths can be customized, providing a tailored approach to code generation.
- Import Efficiency: The ability to import a list of codes saves time and ensures consistency, especially for large events.
Conclusion
Generating and importing access codes in Resiada is a streamlined and user-friendly process, offering event organizers a high degree of control and customization. By following these steps, you can efficiently manage access to different segments of your event, enhancing both security and organization.
