Creating a Dealer System Account

Dealer System Accounts have multiple purposes.

  • They can be a “home for orphaned signals,” when the dealer has Transmitter ID Range(s).
  • Configure Open/Close Schedules that can be linked to the Dealer's customer records.
  • Create Reminders for use on multiple customer records. 

Adding a Dealer System Account

  1. Add a New Customer.  
    • Shortcut Icon:  
    • Hamburger icon (), File, New, Customer:  
  2. Add the Customer ID.
  3. Select the Dealer where this System Account should reside.
  4. Click Next
  5. Set the Customer Type to Commercial.
  6. Enter the Dealer System Account Name.  Best practice is to name the Dealer and include System Account in the description.
  7. Set the Account Type to System Account.
  8. Click Finish.

This saves the Dealer System account to the Manitou database and will begin to receive any orphaned signals, if the attached dealer has any defined Transmitter ID ranges.
