Overview
Realtime orders require configuration at the system, customer and resource level.
Unit type
From Administrator > Tables > Finance > Unit types it’s required to have a unit type that will serve as the unit type for realtime orders.
This unit type needs to be calculated by Quantity (1) and to require resource unit reporting (2):
A unit type exclusively for realtime orders (for example, “Realtime minutes”) is recommended.
Order type
From Administrator > Tables > Finance > Orders types, it’s required to set which order types should be used to create realtime orders using the “Is realtime” column (1).
It’s not required for the order type to be exclusively for realtime orders.
Customer level
Realtime orders can only be created for customers with “Realtime supported” enabled.
This setting can be found within the customer’s profile, from Manager > Rolodex tables > Customers OR Sales > Rolodex tables > Customers by opening the profile via the magnifying glass.
After “Realtime supported” is enabled (1), two additional options are also made available: Customer destinations (2) and Control rooms (3).
Customer destinations
By clicking on the “Customer destinations” button, a popup will open with the list of destinations for that customer. At least 1 is required for realtime customers.
New entries can be added from the “Add new customer destination” button on the bottom left corner.
When adding a new destination, two fields are required: Description and Primary audio.
Additional fields are also available to add more information to the destination.
The list in the Connection method field comes from the corresponding table.
Once the necessary fields have been populated or changes made, click on “Save” to apply.
Control rooms
When adding a new control room, Description and Phone number are the only required fields.
Additionally, notes can be added.
Customer destinations and Control rooms are also accessible from the Customers page:
Resource level
Realtime orders tasks can only be assigned to resources with “Realtime supported” enabled.
This setting can be found within the resource’s profile, from Manager > Rolodex tables > Resources OR Administrator > Web administrator > Logins by opening the profile via the magnifying glass.
Once enabled, the remaining Realtime fields will become available.
