TABLE OF CONTENTS


Overview

While Parking Enforcement Officers typically enter citations or warnings in the field using OpsMan Mobile, sometimes you’ll need to create a citation in Passport’s portal.

Scenario

  • During inclement weather, an officer might decide to issue a citation from their vehicle using a laptop.
  • If an officer’s printer fails, they might write a citation by hand.
  • In some operations, officers issue tickets but don’t have access to a device and/or printer.

Considerations 

The Write Citation interface mirrors OpsMan Mobile and includes the same fields, values, and entry processes. If a field is required, it would be required in both OpsMan Mobile and Passport’s portal.

Instructions

  1. Select Enforcement > Write Citation
  2. Complete all fields
  3. Select Create Ticket
    • Note: After you select this button, a success message displays with a link to the citation.

Notes

If you attempt to create a blank ticket then select “Create Ticket,” the form will indicate which fields are required. The required fields will be determined by your operator settings. Contact the Support team if you need assistance.

Fields

Note: These fields can vary depending on your operator settings. Create a Support Ticket if you need help.

Pro tip: Start typing in any drop-down menu to narrow the list of results.
