Guest Cards Effect of Global Policies

Effect of Global Policies on Guest Cards

Global policies are functions that determine how eSite responds for all properties set up within the system. Global guest card policies affect guest card entry and processing. The administrator who sets up your system makes a decision on a method for guest card entry—either using guest cards or global guest cards.

The choices are made on the Inter Property, Additional Tab while setting up global policies. The defaults limit the display of guest cards to only those entered for the current property during application entry. Also, by default, guest cards are restricted to only the current property and entry is governed by Begin of Day/End of Day processing.

Note

A system administrator can modify the default policy settings. Use caution when altering defaults because the results can affect the way the entire system handles your guest cards.

The following global policies affect guest cards:
