Set up the Boomgate module

Information on Boomgate options when using the Boomgate Module in RMS.  

 

Overview

Boomgate access control determines the format for Access Codes, the Access Code Slip template and interface options.

Access Slips can be setup as a Form Letter and/or SMS template to provide the entry codes to Guests.

The options selected and code format will depend on the Access Control interface being used.

Alternate Users can be configured within RMS to give access to the Property to persons other than guests.

★ Tip: A subscription to the Boomgate module is required to use this feature. A subscription to the 2 Way SMS module is required to send out SMS.
✎ Please Note: RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
