Unit Types Values Mapping |
Top Previous Next |
This is accessed through Maintenance / Online Reservations / Hercules / Hercules Setup, Parsing tab, and click the Unit Types values mapping button.
The reservation data from Hercules includes a "Unit Type" value, with several different possible values (shown in a list here under "Hercules ID"). In Campground Master you have a "Rig type" field that needs to be set accordingly, but your values might be different. The possible Rig type values in Campground Master are defined in the Rig Types Pick List, which you can modify if desired (see Maintenance / Pick Lists / Rig Types). However it's not necessary to create perfectly-matching values in the pick list, since you can use this mapping function to convert the Hercules values to Campground Master values.
If you still have any of the default Rig Types in your pick list, some of those values which match up with Unit Types will be automatically mapped for you. So you may see several values already mapped when you go into this function. You only need to see if the other Unit Types need to be mapped to your Rig Types.
The mapping process is as follows:
1. Select (highlight) a Hercules ID to map in the left-hand list. (The numeric value is shown next to the name only for reference, and is not important.)
2. Select the corresponding type from the Rig Type Value drop-down list.
3. Click Add Mapping. The details of the mapped value will appear in the bottom list.
4. Repeat for all ID's/values that might be selected on Hercules, then click Save.
Note that there is no need to map Unit Types if they do not apply or would never be used on Hercules. For instance if you don't have a marina, there's no need to map the "Sailboat" value.
Mapping Notes
You can map multiple Hercules ID's to the same Rig Type 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.
