Shifts Functionality

If you need to enable the functionality for Shift reporting (for instance if you have 2 or 3 shifts per day and need reporting based on shifts, rather than days), then you need to enable two specific fields in Maintenance / Data Field Definitions (see Define Data Fields in the Maintenance section for more information.)

•In the Parks field definitions, enable the Park_Shift field.

•In the Transactions field definitions, enable the Tran_Shift field.

With these enabled, the Shift Change and Shift Report functions will be available on the Maintenance menu, and the Shift filtering and summarizing options will be present in the Transaction tab view filter and options.

After the shift fields are enabled, you may need to exit and restart Campground Master for the Shift functions to appear on the Maintenance menu.  Then you should go to Shift Change and enter the shift number you want to start with (for instance, 1000).

When shifts are enabled, all transactions are tagged with a shift number.  In addition to restricting transaction changes after the shift is closed out, this allows shift reports to be done for any shift in history, and helps track down the source of operator errors.

Note: You may want to enable the Shift functionality even if you only have a single shift per day, just so you can use the Shift Report.  This report provides a handy summary of the transactions of the shift
