By design you will not have access to every view; only the ones that cater to your workflow.

Below we will provide a brief explanation of each view. The workflow each view is catered towards will be indicated as follows:

                                    Black= Any Client Type

                                    Blue = Food and Beverage

                                    Green = Retail

                                    Purple = Concessions
