Reservation Receipts

Reservation Stations can print a receipt showing the details of a user's reservation, if this option is enabled at Release Stations > [selected Pharos Station] > SignUp category. The receipts printed by the Reservation Station can be customized by editing the template files that the receipts are based on.

Receipt Templates

Two templates can be found in the Program Files\Pharos\bin directory of Pharos Station machines:

ReceiptTemplate.rtf - this is the standard template for printed receipts
ReceiptExpressUserTemplate.rtf - this is the template that is used when Express Reservations are enabled.

Receipt templates use the following format:

[PrintReceiptHeader]

    Login: [LogonID]
    Alias: [Alias]
    Date: [ReservationDate]
    [StartTimePrompt]: [ReservationStartTime]
    [MaximumDurationPrompt]: [MaximumReservationDuration]

Location:
    [Branch]
    [ComputerGroup]

Computer:
    [ComputerType]
    [ComputerDisplayName]
    [ComputerDescription]

This is the standard template. The template for Express Reservations replaces the [Alias] field with a [Password] field, as in an Express Reservation, the logon ID and alias are the same, and users must be given a password so they can log on.

For Queued Reservations, the [ComputerDisplayName] and [ComputerDescription] tags are not printed, since the Computer assigned to the user is not known at the time of joining the queue.

Editing Templates

Templates can be customized by:

Deleting any lines you do not wish to display
Rearranging the lines in any order
Changing the font, font size and formatting (e.g. bold, underline) used in the template
Altering any of the static text, e.g. change Login: [LogonID] to PIN: [LogonID]

The content of the tags that signify where information will be inserted (i.e. anything inside square brackets) must not be altered. If you want to change the formatting of the tags, be sure to change the formatting of the square brackets as well as the text inside them.
