Campus Admin was the first release/version of the PoolCar booking system and was specifically designed for hospitals with the requirement for a Campus - Location - Department structure.

Campus Admin has been superseded by Pool Management, but some older PoolCar customers will still be on the Campus Admin version.

The main difference between the two versions is that Campus Admin does not have the Pool Management section on the Sysadmin Menu (identified in screen shots below) which means that Campus Admin doesn’t have Pools, the Asset Register, or Pool Administrators (Pool Officers or Pool Managers). This also means that vehicles cannot be assigned based on date/time, therefore there is no way to assign proactively/retroactively.

Site Admin (Campus Admin)

 

** If a user has the Site Admin role, their email address must be in either Primary Contact, Secondary Contact, Admin 3, Admin 4 field and has to match the User email

** CAVEAT – can only have 4 admins per vehicle

Has access to the Campus Admin Tools page (see table below)

In Pool Management, you can assign users as Pool Officer/ Pool Manager to an entire Pool and there is no limit on the number of Pool Officers / Pool Managers per Pool. There can be multiple Pool Officers / Pool Managers for multiple Pools.

In Campus Admin, a user can have the Campus Administrator role, but cannot be assigned via groups, can only be assigned vehicle by vehicle

Can be a lot of work to remove Campus Administrators – as is done vehicle by vehicle

Can bulk update Campus Admins via Set Campus Admins page

Can select from list – add in contacts, select from Dropdown, can update this in bulk, and FYI emails can be configured from here too.
