Viewing transactions for a specific access card
You can view the transactions for a specific access card via the reservation or owner, or from the access card overview.
Via the reservation or owner:
- Go to the concerned reservation or owner;
- At the access cards, click 1 card (or the number of active cards) when multiple cards have been generated;
- Click the card number;
- Here, you'll find an overview of all transactions of the card in question.
Via the access card overview:

- In the submenu on the right, select Access cards;
- Enter the card number in the search window and press enter;

Viewing transactions for a specific period
If you'd like to view transactions for a specific day, this is possible:
- Go to the tab Access;
- In the submenu on the right, select Transactions;
- Enter the data you want into the filters and click Search;
- Here, you can see who used an access card and at what moment.
Use the Update button to refresh the overview.
Search for access cards
In the Access cards tab, you can search for access cards by using the search field and/or the filters.
This allows you to search using:
- The card number;
- The identification number (license plate);
- The guest's name.
In addition, you can filter on:
- Cards that are active, blocked or both;
- Cards that are not expired, cards that are expired, or ones that are both;
- The access card type.
By default, the most recently created card will be displayed on top.
Generate cards in advance
It is possible to generate the entry tickets for a future period and to print if necessary:
- Go to the tab Access cards;
- Click on Automatic generation in the right sub-menu;
- Choose the period in which the reservations' arrival date has to be;
- Click on Create.
Control cards will be generated for all reservations with an arrival date within the given period, and all admission tickets that will be valid in this period and have not yet been printed will be printed.
Automatically generated and printed cards can still be reprinted individually afterwards.
Automatic generation and check-in at license plate registration
Within the link with CAT, we allow for the option to immediately check-in the reservation at license plate registration. For this, the arrival date must correspond to the current date and the reservation must be paid in full. As a result, you do not run the risk that a non-fully paid reservation will be checked in and is present in your park.
