# Plus2 Entry Points, Access Products and Tickets

HTML version: [Plus2 Entry Points, Access Products and Tickets](https://support.gladstonesoftware.cloud/plus2/plus2-entry-points-access-products-and-tickets)

## Problem
Entry point profiles (who is allowed through) are managed in the GMC, but the building blocks are created in Plus2. Administrators need to create entry points, access products, pay-as-you-go tickets and entry-restricting statuses.

## Resolution

### Entry points

1. **Switch to the correct site**
   - Entry points are listed per site.

2. **Create the entry point**
   - Go to `Configuration > System > Entry points > New`. The quickest way is to copy an existing one, e.g. *Web*.
   - Enter the **ID** (e.g. site prefix + name), **Description** (e.g. "Reception lane 1") and **Site**.

3. **Set the hardware**
   - On the **Hardware** tab, set a unique **swipe reader prefix** per reader (e.g. 10, 11) and the port type.

4. **Leave infringements to the GMC**
   - Leave **Ignore infringements** unticked. Other restriction tabs don't matter, because the GMC profile controls access. Save.

### Access products for entry-screen questions

5. **Create one access product per answer**
   - Create one Plus2 **access product** per answer, for reporting only (no sale), e.g. `ASACC00001` *Gym access*, *Swim access*, *Gym & swim access*, *Class access*, on their own department (e.g. *Access*).

### Pay-as-you-go tickets

6. **Create a ticket layout**
   - Create a Plus2 **ticket layout** (e.g. ID `PAYG01`, type *Ticket*, paper width, font) with date and time, member ID, product description, barcode reference and barcode.

7. **Set the ticket on price products**
   - Set the ticket on every price product that should print one (gym sessions, swims, pay-and-go classes).

### Statuses that restrict entry

8. **Create entry-restricting statuses**
   - Create statuses such as **Eligibility pending** in Plus2 and add them as **deny entry** statuses on the GMC profiles. See [Setting Up Member Statuses in Plus2](setting-up-member-statuses-in-plus2.md).

## Notes

- Each site normally has standard *Booking*, *Reception* and *Web* entry points, and each site needs its own reception entry point.
- When hardware is replaced like-for-like, keep the existing entry points and IDs.
- **Impact on the GMC and 360:** GMC profiles list the subscriptions, **resources** (booking resource products) and **products** (pay-at-desk tickets) that grant entry. Whenever you add a product, reservation or membership that should grant entry, add it to the relevant profiles.
- The access products are recorded by the GMC entry-screen question buttons.
- The ticket printer and layout are set in 360 (**cog > Printers**).
- Once profiles are in the GMC, infringements are amended there, not in Plus2.
