VisualMarina®
VisualMarina®
VisualMarina® provides marina managers and their staff with a graphical illustration of their marina facilities including wet, dry and multilevel rack storage. VisualMarina® provides a complete command and control system to track one or more marina locations.
- The map is the command center that enables you to carry out all the necessary functions of viewing, moving, departing, or adding a new boat to your slip file. If you hover the mouse pointer (Information pointer) over a slip, the Slip Id will show up along with the description of the slip in the bottom left hand corner of your window.
- If you enabled the Multiple Locations option in the Storage and Billing Parameters, you will see a Location window prior to entering the program. However, if your Clerk Id contains a Default Location and the Allow Location Override box is not enabled (checked), you will not see the Location Window; the system will automatically select a location and you cannot change it (see your System Administrator to change your Clerk Id options).
- Click on the Marina Location you want to display.
