Enabling and Configuring Location Groups

Location Groups must be enabled by CCI Support. If you are unable to access the Location Groups page and would like to utilize this feature, please contact CCI Support. Please note this feature is only intended to function for users with multiple locations.

Once enabled, the Location Groups page will become accessible to users with Admin or Location Setup privileges.  There is no limit to the number of groups that can be created or the number of locations within a select group, but a single location may only be a member of one group at a time.  By default, all locations are members of the same group, but users may wish to utilize multiple groups to manage their pricing and features for multiple locations.

Managing Location Groups

Users with the requisite privileges can manage Location Groups (after logging in to the FasCard Admin site) by first navigating to the Setup tab and then clicking on the Location Groups link.  

This will display the group listing.  

Group Listing

  • Location names are also links that will load the Location setup page when clicked.

  • Machine numbers are links that will load the Machine setup page for the selected location.

This is an alphabetical list of all of the groups configured for the system.  A search box is provided to allow the user to easily search for a specific group if several locations are utilized.  Clicking anywhere on the row of a listed group will select that group and show additional details.  The Reset button will clear any search criteria from the search box and display all groups.  The Add New button allows the user to configure a new group.
