2) To add a sync rule, click on "Add" and select the access group. Any user-created/updated/deleted in Genea when assigned with the access group which is added to the sync rule below will get provisioned in the Flash Parking system.
Add optional entitlements:
3) The users who match the sync rule in Genea will get provisioned to Flash parking system with default attributes like Name, Email, Department, Employee ID, etc. However, if you wish to map additional entitlements to be assigned to users in Flash parking while syncing from Genea, then that can be done.
4) Click "Add" under the Entitlements section, select the desired mappings and save them.
Advanced provisioning rules
When multiple rules are added to an integration, each rule holds a priority in the list. You can drag these rules up or down to sets its execution priority. Rules are executed in order based on its priority, once one rule is matched and executed, rest of the rules will be skipped.
Sync users from Genea to Flash Parking

.
2) The system will check for the matching rule and accordingly the user will get provisioned in Flash parking.
Sync users' cards from Genea to Flash Parking
1) Assign a card to the user In Genea and the same card will get synced in Flash parking. Please note:
a. Flash parking expects the card number with facility code in their system. Hence, if the user card is having a facility code, enter the code in the Genea portal so that when the card is synced in FP, it works properly there.
b. For the cards to work with Flash parking system, you will need to assign the required pool to the user profile. A pool can be assigned either manually in Flash parking or through Genea sync rule.
c. Enable the required card format in Genea as well as Flash Parking.
Resync the integration
When you make any changes to the integration rule or integration priority sequence and want to force resync all users from Genea to Flash Parking, the "resync" button can be used. The Resync function will force update all users from Genea to Flash parking.
