This article will instruct you how to change the Reservation # generated by the system. This Reservation # can be customized per branch, and it can also be customized per location.
In Branches
First, navigate to Settings > under Fleets > Branches > select the Branch you want to update
Once you select the branch to edit, under the section Branch Overview you will see the field Prefix for Reservation# which you can change with custom text and by using the following variables:
- ${id} – the reservation’s unique id #
- ${year_short} – the reservation’s year (last 2 digits)
- ${year_long} – the reservation’s year (all 4 digits)
- ${month} – the reservation’s month
- ${day} – the reservation’s day
- ${pickup_location} – the reservation’s pickup location
- ${return_location} – the reservation’s return location
Example
Once you are done, scroll down and click on the Save button to apply the changes.
In Fleet Locations
First, navigate to Settings > under Fleets > Fleet Locations > select the Location you want to update

- ${id} – the reservation’s unique id #
