PASSBOOK has been added to the list of ticketing formats. It is one part of the following delivery modes: e-ticket and mobile ticket. SecuTix advises to activate the electronic shipment mode instead of the print@home (eticket) or mobile mode. This is because the electronic mode allows a great deal of flexibility in activating the different ticket media regarding the activation of various tickets supports(one or more of these media supports can be activated at any time: print@home (eticket), mobile pdf, PASSBOOK). However, it is advisable to activate all three media by creating appropriate layouts templates so that users can enjoy the best possible service.

...

PASSBOOK tickets will be automatically accessible from the Apple Watch from the moment they are added to the user's WALLET.

Template parameters

Restrictions on fields in the editor

Do not move, delete, rename or add a field in the

layout

template. Fields are predefined and should not be changed in any way (except for their value, of course). If you do not want a field to appear,

simply

just make it invisible --> VALID ONLY FOR THE FOLLOWING TEXT FIELDS: block_label, block_value, header_label, header_value, owner_label, owner_value, price_label, price_value, row_label, row_value, seat_label, seat_value, site_label, site_value

The elements of the

layout

template are not arranged as they are in the final result of the PASSBOOK ticket. This is due to some limitations of our

layout

template editor. If you want to see the result of a setup, please generate the ticket directly from the editor and open the pkpass file on your mobile. Please do not add any formatting to the field values. Example: Do not enter the following value in a field: Pass.

The names of the fields correspond to the meaning that Apple wanted to give them, for example: price_value. However, you can put any value you like in these fields, so you are free to compose your ticket as you wish. Please do not rename a field even if you do not give it the same meaning as Apple's.

To set the colour of the fields, please use the "settings" field and not the style values.
