How to use the Tariff Editor

Exception Types are tariffs that can be assigned to one or more days in a calendar and are not a part of the Standard Week. These days are often used to handle tariffs for events like Match days, Parades, or simple blocking the terminal for payment. In the last case no purchases cam be made during this rate type. I.e. parking is not allowed during this period.

 

First release of the Tariff editor

To be able to create a tariff for an Exception Type this type must exist in the calendar. This will change in a next release.

These calendars are saved in the Day Type Calendars page.

To be able to add an Exception Type to a calendar you must be familiar with XML and with the structure of the CALENDAR element it uses.

If needed ask Cale Support for help.

See Manage the calendar for more details.
