Administration
The
Administration tab provides the setup options for the Parks & Rec application:
These options maintain the key settings that support the Parks & Rec offerings within your community. Complete these settings prior to completing the options on the Parks & Rec tab.
For efficiency, complete the Administration options in the order in which they are presented. In many cases, settings are based on other settings; for example, to complete the Fee page, you first must have an available Fee Schedule record.
Setup options are grouped into four categories: Parks & Rec Setup, Report Setup, Cashier Setup and System Setup. To learn about an option, click the corresponding link under the appropriate category heading below or under the Administration heading on the menu to the left.
