Amp Service Values Mapping |
Top Previous Next |
This is accessed through Maintenance / Online Reservations / Hercules / Hercules Setup, Parsing tab, and click the Amp Service values mapping button.
The reservation data from Hercules includes a single "Amp Service" value, with several different possible values (shown in a list here under "Hercules ID"). However in Campground Master you have a different type of field or multiple fields that need to be set accordingly. This mapping function is used as a parsing rule to determine which Campground Master field to set based on the Amp Service value from Hercules.
Most often, this will simply be a "50A" preference field for the reservation. In fact, if you have the 50A attribute/preference field enabled for Reservations, the values including 50A will be automatically mapped for you. So you would only need to modify or add mappings if the values for 15, 20, 30, or 100 amps mean something for your setup, or if the standard 50A field is not used in your setup to mean that they want 50A service.
The mapping process is as follows:
1. Select (highlight) a Hercules ID to map in the left-hand list.
2. Select a field from the Reservation Field drop-down list.
3. Select the Value to set field to in the next drop-down list, or enter a value. For preference fields like 50A that have pre-defined values (e.g. "Must Have" or "Must Not Have"), you should select from the drop-down list. If the field does not have designated values, simply type the desired value.
4. Click Add Mapping. The details of the mapped value will appear in the bottom list.
5. Repeat for all values that require fields to be set, then click Save.
Note that there is no need to map values if you don't need a field set for them in Campground Master. For instance if the only field of interest is 50A, then you only need to set the mapping for the Hercules ID's with 50 in them (and they would all be mapped to the 50A field, value set to "Must Have".
Mapping Notes
You can map multiple Hercules ID's to the same Reservation Field if needed.
If you need to change a mapping, select it from the bottom list and click Delete/Edit. It will be removed from the bottom list, but it will also be selected automatically in the lists above, so all you have to do is make any changes needed and click Add Mapping again.
