Using Head Office Codes in Loyalty Manager

Loyalty Manager can use either Head Office codes or primary keys for films, items, ticket types and payment types.

Important! If there is more than one cinema in a circuit using Loyalty, always use Head Office codes by setting the LoyaltyUsesHOCodes setting to Yes for all the cinemas. The setting exists in both Head Office and at the cinema level.

To enable using HO Codes for modules using Sales Server (i.e., not POS), add the following settings: 

• TranslateHOCodes=Y
• TranslateDBAppId=VISTA

TranslateDBAppId can have either VISTA or VISTAIT, depending on which database it uses to get  codes. VISTA means the cinema application database, regardless of what the database connection is called.

Note: There can be a special Loyalty configuration file defined on each kiosk which will override what is in tblLoyaltyModuleConfig.
