Table of Contents 1 Features Overview The Reservation Request System is a web-based booking application. It allows customers to view available lounge spaces, view dates, create an account and build their reservation to The Weingarten. Reservation requests are visible to event staff and are sent to them via an email, and the desired event date is placed on their Google Calendar. There are two levels of access to the Reservation Request System. One level is for admins, and the other level is for users. The user level access gives users the most basic level of content. Users can only update their information and see time slots but not who reserved that time slot for a reservation, Administrative-level access allows admins to make changes and view content and is designed for the event staff at The Weingarten. The administrative-level users have the same access as technicians and more. They can generate reports in addition to modifying customer information. Admins can perform maintenance on the system. The Reservation Request System requires (?) number of admins. For further information on how to operate the Reservation Request System, please refer to the training manual. 2 User Level Scope The user-level scope access was created to allow customers to input their reservation request and information for the Reservation Request System. A typical user of the Reservation Request system would be a potential customer. A user can view the available spaces to the six lounges as well as the price and number of guests for space. However, the customer can only see blocked out times on the Google Calendar when making or searching for a request. They cannot see who booked what time. The user will be required to enter a date for the event and submit the form. Next, the customer will need to register an email and password to proceed with the reservation request if they are a repeat customer. New customers will need to signup and will be directed to an order form where they will be required to enter their first and last name. The user is also required to enter a phone number, address, event date, start and end time, number of guests, event date, event type, food trays, and quantity. The user will then see a calculated total of their request and have to sign off on the rental agreements. Lastly, the customer will then receive a confirmation letting them know that a member of the event staff will contact them to complete the reservation within 24 hours of the placed request via phone call. 3 Admin Level Scope The admin-level of access was created for the staff at The Weingarten as well as any resource that has been put in place to help manage the website. Admin users have more access to the Reservation Request system than the basic user. Admins can edit and delete reservations and customers and see details about reservations and customers. The admin level also allows admin users to create reservations and customers. Admin-level users can easily access the system to view reservation details left by customers. Security Concerns The distribution of administrative rights is at the discretion of The Weingarten event staff. Before handing over access to a user to the admin level, please use proper judgment to determine who would need those rights. The Reservation Request System requires a minimum of __ admins who can make changes to the system. This includes the creation or deletion of any user within the Reservation Request System. 4 Health Concerns There are very little health concerns with using the Reservation Request System. Very few users may experience seizures when exposed to certain images, flashing lights or colors when using the system. A zoom feature in the browser does work for any users with impaired eyesight. If you or your relatives have a history of epilepsy or seizures, please consult your doctor before using the application.

The web hosting service currently used by The Weingarten is Godaddy.com. Once the application is updated on the website for The Weingarten, it is essential to make a backup of the site. A backup must be created to enable the Godaddy.com restore function. Backup GoDaddy website There is a video tutorial from GoDaddy demonstrating how to back-up a GoDaddy website at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paBWpwa_lNA. 1. Log in to your GoDaddy account. In your products list click website builder. 2. Click the three-bar manage icon next to the account you want to use. 41 3. Select Site Settings from the drop-down menu. This will take you to the Site Settings menu. 4. From the Site Settings window click the Backup Restore tab. 42 5. Selecting ‘Create Backup’ will save the current version of the website. GoDaddy will save up to 5 previous versions of your website once the first backup is created. 43 6. It is advisable to rename and date the manual backup for future reference. Click "OK" to complete backup. Restore GoDaddy Website Follow steps 1-4 of the previous section on how to back up a GoDaddy website. Then continue with instructions below. There is a video from GoDaddy illustrating these steps at https://www.godaddy.com/help/backing-up-or-restoring-your-website-2992. 5. Point to the backup version you would like to use to restore your website. 44 7. Click the ‘Restore’ icon. 8. Click ‘Yes, Restore’ to confirm. 45 Hosting Server or web host must have the capacity to: ● support PHP 5 or higher scripting language ● support MySQL database This application was initially hosted through name.com. The reservation request application for The Weingarten is currently hosted through name.com. The Weingarten will need to work with their website management company MR2 Creative to migrate the application into the GoDaddy hosting service they are using. The database can be exported in a SQL file. The vendor will need to adjust their access profiles in their portal to access the database and update the database connection code to reflect their username and password. 46 Typically, the database host will stay as localhost however if the vendor decides to move the database off the local host they will need to update the connection code with that as well. Hardware The Client will need an internet enabled device which: ● Can access Google Calendars ● is HTML5 compatible ● can utilize one of the following web browsers o Safari version 6.1+ o Firefox version 18.0+ o Chrome version 21.0+ Software The Weingarten will need a Gmail email account that is registered to the reservations account for their Google Calendar. If The Weingarten decides to build a server and host their application internally, they will need to install a WAMP stack which is available for free download through Bitami. Full detail on how to install the WAMP stack is also found in the Installation Guide. There are many useful tutorials like this one 47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-uwWkxMeYA illustrating how to install the Bitnami WAMP stack. Support Plan This application has been created for the Weingarten and there are two systems in place in order to educate the Weingarten on the application. One member of the team will go over the ins and outs of the system with some members of the Weingarten who will be serving as the admin for the application. There will be a user manual put in place for reference that will be created by the members of our team. Vintner Consulting will assist in supporting The Reservation Request system for up to sixty days after implementing the new system. Starting December 14th, 2017 until February 12th, 2018.The members of Vintner Consulting can be reached by email. Should The Weingarten wish to work with Vintner Consulting after the sixty day period, the team is willing to continue working contractually for a price and negotiated timeframe. Personally Educating the Weingarten Some tasks that are necessary for the Weingarten are easier if they are taught in person, but I will go over these tasks briefly due to the reference manual previously stated. The Weingarten must know how to use the admin panel within their website for numerous reasons. The two largest reasons are to update a reservation and to pull a report from the admin panel. 48 Providing a User Manual This user manual is being created for the Weingarten and will be available for reference for all employees of the Weingarten at any time. The user manual is also going to provide a view and explanation of what the users will see and experience. There will also be explanations and views for what an admin will see when navigating the application that has been created. 49
