The Gift Card Range Entry page allows you to view, edit, and create gift card ranges. For instance, you can add ranges that define different types of gift cards, such as Comp cards and Paid cards. Then, as imports come in, each card redemption will be compared to these ranges and assigned to the appropriate type. Note: Currently, only the Aloha and POSitouch interfaces support the use of this page; setting up card ranges for any other POS interface will have no effect. 

It is important to note that the information on this page works in conjunction with the information received during each data import that occurs. This information does not work retroactively. You must be proactive and enter your card ranges before issuing them to your locations.
