E-Certificate Types
Requirements/Prerequisites
Select Setup>System Configuration>Profile>E-Certificate Types to open the E-Certificate Types screen. Use the E-Certificate Types screen to configure E-Certificates based on a scope and membership type and define where the E-Certificate can be consumed. You will also be able to define the format for how numbers will be generated for an E-Certificate type.
E-Certificate numbers will be generated for the E-Certificate type and available for attaching to profiles. These profiles will be eligible for the E-Certificate based on the membership types linked to the E-Certificate. For example, if the membership type linked to an E-Certificate is "GC," only profiles with this membership type can be issued a number generated for the particular E-Certificate. The E-Certificate number will remain on the profile until consumed. See E-Certificate Consumption for information on how E-Certificates are issued and attached to guest profiles.
Guests who have been issued E-Certificates will be able to consume their E-Certificates through the hotel front desk.
Note: PMS users cannot issue E-Certificates to guests. Only consumption is available at PMS level.
