What is the purpose of the Dashboard?
The Dashboard is used by parking enforcement administration to see statistical trends and analytics about the parking enforcement and general parking on campus. You can see the percent occupancy and a detailed summary of the parking violations of any given lot as well as the campus as a whole. You can also see statistics about your employees and how many citations they have given.
Can I personalize my dashboard?
Yes! The buttons at the top right allow you to add, remove, and move charts on your dashboard.
What is the Live Map?
In the Live Map you can see a live updating map of all the parking spots on campus as well if they are vacant, occupied legally (green), occupied illegally (red), org occupied with an unknown license plate (orange).

Under Settings → Violation Types, what do all the different violation types mean?
This page allows you to turn violation types on or off within your organization. If your organization elects to not enforce certain rules, just mark the violation type as inactive, and the system will ignore it.
