Boat Options Lookup Tables (Boat Type, Length, Width and Draft)

How to set up the Boat Type, Boat Length, Boat Width and Boat Draft lookup tables that describe the vessels a Dock Area can accommodate in RMS.

 

Overview

The Boat Type Lookup Table in RMS allows for the definition of water vessel types that an area in a 'Dock' category can accommodate.

The Boat Length, Boat Width and Boat Draft Lookup Tables work the same way for the size of the vessel. Together, these four tables are the Boat Options for an Area.

Lookup Table What it defines
Boat Type The types of water vessel an Area can accommodate.
Boat Length The vessel length an Area can accommodate.
Boat Width The vessel width an Area can accommodate, measured at the vessel's widest point.
Boat Draft The vessel depth an Area can accommodate. The Boat Draft is the shallowest depth a vessel can navigate in, or the minimum depth required for a vessel to float.

Allocating a Boat Draft, Boat Length, Boat Type, and Boat Width to an area in a 'Dock' category facilitates the filtration of areas based on selected water vessel specifications when creating a reservation or using the RMS Booking Engine.

Please Note! RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. For more information, see Understanding RMS Help Centre Articles. 

 

Tip! Each Boat Options Lookup Table is a free-type field, offering flexibility to accommodate a range of vessel types, or either ranges or set values for length, width and draft, depending on the specifications of the marina or dock.

 

Add a Boat Type, Length, Width or Draft

You set up each Boat Options Lookup Table the same way. In the side menu of RMS, go to Setup > Lookup Tables > Boat Type, Boat Length, Boat Width or Boat Draft.

  1. Select 'Add'.

  3. Select 'Save/Exit'.

The new value will be available for allocation on the 'Boat Options' tab of an Area in a 'Dock' category, where each Lookup Table has its own Available and Allocated lists.
