7. In the field to the right of the Run Program field, enter the text that you wish to appear on the
hot button that you are creating. Using the example above you might enter Court A.
8. Click OK to create the button, then click and drag with your mouse to place it on the screen
and size it as necessary.
9. Repeat Steps 4–8 for each court hot button that you wish to display on the Express Courts
processing screen.
Hot Button Variations
The following present some different things you can do in the Parameters field that will change
what the buttons represent.
1. Use an asterisk (*) for the ID. Doing this will wildcard the Court ID thus allowing the user to
choose from any court at the location. In the example above, if you put an asterisk (*) in the
ID spot, the user would see all the Tennis Courts at Walden Park when clicking this hot
button.
The Parameter field would look like this: TENIS,WALPK,*,0,8,19,12,110
Note: The browser behind the button sorts by Time by default. If you use this feature, you will
want to click the Description column header when the browser opens to sort by Court.
2. Make Buttons for the Days of the Week. You can make your buttons represent static days
of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc…) instead of dynamic ones
(Today, Tomorrow, the Day After Tomorrow etc…) by using a 3-digit code, such as 1w2, in
the Day Advance spot.
The 3-digit code is a combination of weeks and days and is broken down as follows: The
first two digits represent which week (‘0’ = last week, ‘1’ = this week, ‘2’ = next week, etc…)
and the third digit represents which day of the week (‘1’ = Sunday, ‘2’ = Monday, ‘3’ =
Tuesday, etc…)
Examples:
"1w2" stands for "Monday of this week" where "1w" stands for "this week" and "2" represents the
second day of the week: Monday.
"0w1" represents "last Sunday,"
"1w5" represents " Friday of this week”"
"2w4" represents "next Wednesday" and etc…
When using this method, the button will consistently display the day of the week and the date
of the month in parenthesis, such as Mon (11/26/07).
To make buttons for the days of the week in the example above, Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun
for Tennis Court A, you would make five (5) separate buttons. The Parameter field for each
would look as follows:
Monday’s Button: TENIS,WALPK,WATNA,1w2,8,19,12,110
Wednesdays’ Button: TENIS,WALPK,WATNA,1w4, 8,19,12,110
Friday’s Button: TENIS,WALPK,WATNA,1w6, 8,19,12,110
Saturday’s Button: TENIS,WALPK,WATNA,1w7, 8,19,12,110
Sunday’s Button: TENIS,WALPK,WATNA,2w1, 8,19,12,110
You would then make five (5) additional buttons for Tennis Court B.
Note: The Sunday Button Day Advance code displays 2w1, or “Next Sunday.” This was done so
the buttons could be organized from Monday though Sunday on the screen, instead of Sunday
through Saturday. See the screen shot in Payment With Reservation below.
