Daily Points are used for long term tickets (usually) to limit daily number of entrances on a particular passage; e.g. 1 per day, 2, 3, etc.

Tickets with the Daily Points Check Engine issued are checked on Metra access control devices upon entrance if there are any (daily) points left. Each entrance submits one point. On the next day all the assigned daily points are available again; Regardless if all daily points were used up on the previous day or not. Daily points do not accumulate to the next day if not used up on a particular day.

Points are used for daily or long term tickets to limit absolute number of entrances on a particular passage; e.g. 1 entrance (daily), 2, 10, 20, 30, etc (long term).

Tickets with the Points Check Engine issued are checked on Metra access control devices upon entrance if there are any points left. Each entrance submits one point.

If issued in conjunction with the Capture check engine, remaining points disable wristband capture. Guest can leave the system with the wristband if any points are left; this feature is used for tickets with more than 1 point issued to them (e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc.). When all points are taken on entrance the wristband will be captured on exit.

Long term tickets are issued with longer date validity (DT Limits check engine) like a month, ¼ year, ½ year, etc. One day tickets with one point are date limited. Usually to only one day (current day).

This example shows how to create tickets with pre-set number of Points (colour coded yellow) and tickets without pre-set number of Points (colour coded blue) where the number of points is entered when Ticket is created. Common for settings & parameters for both types of Tickets is colour coded green.

Check Engine Points can be combined with Check Engine Daily Points, where Tickets have pre-set number of Points, but with Daily Points Check Engine number of max used Points per day can be set. Example: User has a Ticket with 10 Points, but he can use max 2 Points per day.
