VisualMarina®

VisualMarina®​

From the menu select System Administration > Configuration > VisualMarina®

Purpose: The VisualMarina Parameters control the default slip color legend and the boat images that appear to designate a slip or rack as occupied.

Prerequisites:  A DockMaster Installation Technician will assist you in loading your VisualMarina® Image into your DockMaster account. Review the activities listed below to ensure that your system is ready for VisualMarina® use.

  • The Slip File should already be in place before the DockMaster technician completes this portion of the software installation. If you need to add more slips add them through Slip Maintenance.
  • If more slips are added into the slip file AFTER the installation of the Marina Map, the new slips will need to be drawn onto the map thru Configure Marina.
  • Maintain the clerk file and give the proper security access to each clerk.
  • Maintain the VisualMarina Parameters if needed. The DockMaster Installation Technician sets the VisualMarina Parameters when your software is loaded and configured. The only reason to maintain the VisualMarina Parameters is to change your Marina Legend; the legend defines color codes that depict available, occupied, partially occupied, temporary, unusable slips on the marina map

Default Slip Colors​

This selection defines the Slip Colors that designate the status of each slip based on the marina view selected. You can modify the colors shown to change the appearance of the VisualMarina map for each location.

  • Available – Not occupied by a Transient or a Permanent Boat.
  • Occupied – Occupied by a Transient or Permanent Boat.
  • Partially Occupied – A linear slip that has room for additional boats.
  • Temporary – Indicates a slip that is temporarily available for a Transient boat. Permanent boat has a temporary departure / return date in the boat file.
  • Unusable – Slip is unusable for boat placement or transient reservations. This can be due to repairs on the slip, slip is too shallow, etc.

Slip Designs​

There are two different selections to create a slip.

  • Rectangle - Allows simple creation of a rectangular shape that can be manipulated in length, width, and pulled from corners to stretch.

  • Poly - Allows a shape to be created by drawing each individual line until all points have been connected forming the desired shape.
