The address header is created with the Create button and draws its information from the data entered above it.

Printing ticket

These settings relate to print-outs for ticket sales. The tick can be set to determine which information should be printed on the course ticket.

The course information selected is printed, only if it has also been entered on the sale of the ticket.

If an item name, which is too long and thus is not fully printed out, has been saved, it is possible to print out the Item Description. This function is also available for invoices and offers.

The Price of voucher ticket function determines whether, when tickets are sold via voucher partners the price or the name of the voucher partner, or both should be printed on the ticket.

Disposition options

These options include the setting for the report and the calendar.

Type of Report: Selection of how the report should be documented.

• Default: Data is either recorded manually or is scanned in using the bar code scanner. Each ski instructor is able to inspect the reports and control lists of the other ski instructors.
• Period: The report can be stored for courses of several days' duration.
• ID-Card: The report is compiled only with pre-prepared ID cards (ski instructor recognition), tickets and control cards. Manual entry by the ski instructor is not possible. Therefore ski instructors see only their own report, because ski instructor selection and control list cannot be manually operated.

Report course allocation: Selection of whether in the report information on the course tickets, courses, statement etc. should be automatically generated in the program.

• No assignment: No course is generated in the calendar for the reporting ski instructor. If the courses have been manually generated, the number and names of the course participants are not displayed in the course icon in the calendar.
• Report: Courses are generated in the calendar from the approximate allocation; reported tickets are displayed in the respective course in the calendar. The program monitors per reported ticket, which group type and which group course has been entered for the ticket.
• Settlement: The information recorded in the report is not monitored until all the ski instructor's tickets have been entered and the Statement button has been clicked.

Type of fixed end of group course: There is a selection of three options as to how the end of a group course lasting several days should be defined.

• Selection-dialog: When each ticket is reported, a window opens, in which it can be specified until when the course should be installed in the reporting ski instructor's calendar. If only the first day of a 2-day course is reported and listed in the calendar by ski instructor A, on the second day another ski instructor can report the same tickets without generating an error message and a course can be inserted in the calendar for him on the same day.
• Course end of article: Reporting the tickets installs the course in the calendar. The duration of the course depends on the reported tickets or on the ticket, the course duration of which is the longest.
• No change of the group course: The tickets are reported for one day, but neither displayed (only in the information window for the reported day) in the calendar for the course already installed, nor is the duration of the course already created automatically adjusted.

Min. / max. group size relates to the minimum or maximum number of participants in group courses for Calendar and Allocation. In creating group courses in the calendar the Max. participants is automatically added to the number stored here.

Hours half-day from/to: Is required for the ski instructor statement. This is where the number of lessons considered to be a half-day course is recorded.

Salary statement report: Activates/deactivates the Statement button. In ski schools, which work with control cards, the button should be deactivated.

Immediate Report - Protocol: If this function is activated when tickets are reported, a line with information on the ticket entered is automatically saved in the Log tab for every ticket on that ticket's individual line. If this function is not activated, when reporting the Update report symbol must be clicked, so that the tickets scanned in are visible in the Log tab.

Set today’s date as default report date: The current date is automatically integrated as the report date. If the report is to cover a different day, the ski instructor must first of all enter the required date.

Consultation Report - Statement: Once the ski instructor has completed his course attendance report, but has not pressed the Statement button, and another ski instructor is selected for the report, a window opens with the query as to whether the statement should be submitted.

Ignore various reports of the same ski instructor: This is mainly used by Swiss ski schools (e.g. Davos). If a multiple report for the same ticket is possible (since the ticket consists of several section, for instance) the tick must be set for this function.

Report of success tax card: When a control card has been successfully scanned in, a success message appears.

Taking over of the report from previous day: Activates/deactivates the buttons, so that the report on the previous day from all the ski instructors or the currently selected ski instructor can be accepted.

Set group Type when Setting Activity: Activating this function makes the Convert approximate allocation into course icon visible in the calendar.

Set group type when creating a new group course: Activates the tick in the Set group type field when a group course is created. Thus when a group course is created in Approximate Allocation and also for Ski Instructor the group type is saved as a coloured box.

Section per day: Activating this function automatically divides the statement in Pax into morning and afternoon and the course participants are allocated depending on the course time, which has been stored. If this tick is set in the statement itself, it affects only the statement line displayed.

Show working hours of 0: In the ski instructor's statement list entries with the lesson number of 0 are also displayed.

Take over race list with start number assignment: When the report is transferred to the race list, the start numbers are automatically allocated.

The Default allocation calendar entry relates to group courses created in the calendar. Group courses can be confirmed by the ski instructor. This is where it can be set whether the course should be created without allocation or with a temporary or fixed allocation.

These settings can be edited for each course separately in the Calendar.

Invoice

The standard due date for invoices is stored here together with the editing rights for invoices. These settings apply to all invoices. However, each Invoice can be individually adjusted at any time.

Freely definable fields

The freely definable fields contain text and check boxes for ski instructors, customers and accommodation managers. The following text boxes apply to the Ski instructor personal data sheet: F_SL1-F_SL28

The F_SL27 and F_SL28 text boxes are already pre-defined with start and end and contain the first and last day of ski instructor availability. These values can be entered automatically for all ski instructors and printed on the ski instructor's ID card under Administration – Availability – Validity.

The following check boxes are for ski instructors: Cb_SL1 – Cb_SL42

The F_TN1 – F_TN3 text boxes and Cb_TN1 – Cb_TN3 check boxes can be found again in Customer base.

The Test Module tick is set as default and must be removed before the start of the season, since test transmissions are not sent to the regional health insurance company.

SMS

To send SMS via the ski school program, user name and password must be entered here. These are either the default access data from Waldhart Software or if it wishes, the ski school can be given its own account with sms.at.

The SMS attachment should not include the name of the ski school, since this is already included in the abbreviation (registration) and is also disseminated by SMS.

If during transmission a Transmission error message appears, this may be because a tick is set at SMS-Gateway. In this case, remove the tick, where applicable and try again to send an SMS.

E-mail confirmation

The e-mail confirmation contains the settings for the despatch of booking confirmations via the Journal and Calendar.

In addition, the settings for Offer are used (logo, display of information, etc.).

Online booking

These settings concern imported online bookings from the online shop and reservation form.

Immediate transfer Journal: Bookings are not stored under Day Trading – online booking, saved and then carried over to the Journal, but are transferred directly to the Journal. Therefore it is not possible to post-edit or delete bookings from the shop, since only certain fields in the Journal can be changed.

Date of sale: The date of sale, which appears in the Journal, can be a freely definable day (Dialog box), the day, on which the course was booked in the online shop (Statement date Online shop) or the date of the start of the course.

Transfer method of payment from online shop

Individual methods of payment, the associated means of payment and the appropriate booking status can be stored for incoming bookings. (For invoices, means of payment, invoice etc. are automatic).

If only one method of payment is available in the shop (e.g. credit card), this is specified with the default setting. A payment method should be created specifically for the online shop, with the same name as the shop.

Online shop 

This is where the shop domains, user name and password for data exchange between the shop and the ski school program are stored.

The time-out is set by default to -1 ms. If an error message appears during a data export, this may be because the time-out needs to be set higher (60,000 ms).

Proxy: Many ski schools have a proxy server. If this is the case, the IP address of the server / the server name, the port and where necessary, user and password must also be registered. This opens the firewall.

Control cards

Control cards are used to record and to transfer to the Statement certain of the ski instructors' activities, for which there are no participant tickets. If required by the ski school, the control cards are created by Waldhart Software and input at the ski school. In the WS Skischule report window and in WS Mobil the control cards can either be scanned in or entered manually.
