Clients and Vehicles |
Top Previous Next |
All records for Clients and Vehicles are maintained on a single, tabbed, page. This allows for quick navigation between the two sections of data, and interaction between them.. Specific details are discussed on each of the reference pages that follow, but there are some important points to know about how the two pages work together.
Navigation
Click on the tab to work on the Client or Vehicle screen. To move quickly to the proper record, select the column you want to use ( License, VIN, Client account or name, etc ) and then start typing the data you are seeking. You do not need to click in any field before you start typing because the system is monitoring the keyboard input, not the field. It will then position the highlight bar closer to the target with each letter, or number, you type. If you search for a client, and double click on their record ( left mouse button ), the system will automatically jump to the vehicle display and show you only the vehicles owned by that client. To see all vehicles again, click on the button. If you are looking at a vehicle record, double click on it, and you will switch to the Client screen, with that client's record highlighted.
