We are always open to your feedback and try to add what is really useful. That is how the new “Maintenance and Repairs” tab appeared in the system — a convenient tool for planning all events related to vehicle maintenance. Oil change, seasonal “re-shoeing”, routine maintenance or any other work — now everything is under control. It works simply, reminds you on time, saves history.
How to get everything up and running?
To configure the functionality, go to the “Vehicles” directory and select the necessary car. In the sub-window, open the “Maintenance and Repairs” tab and click the “+” button.
Next, in the «General» tab, fill in the fields:
- type of works – specify the name of the event that needs to be scheduled. If a similar event has already been created for other cars, select its name from the drop-down list;
- planning type – set the event scheduling type: by time or by mileage;
- repeat every – set the event repetition interval:
- for events scheduled by time – days or months;
- for events scheduled by mileage – thousand km.
- warning for – set how many days, months, or kilometers before the event the user should be warned;
- active – specify whether the system should send a reminder about this event (enabled/disabled).
Click OK to save the new type of work.
Please note! The scheduled mileage is taken into account to calculate the due date for work scheduled by mileage.
History is also at your fingertips
A history of events is maintained for each scheduled work. To view it, simply click once on the name of the desired job. A log where all the information (dates, costs, notes) is stored will open.
After creating a work type, the system immediately records the first event – with the current date. If this maintenance has not yet been performed, simply leave the date as it is. If it has already been performed, change the date to the current one. The next deadline will start counting from it.
When performing another event, simply add a new entry to the history: specify the date, if necessary — costs and a comment, and click “OK”. The system will automatically calculate the deadline for the next service.
How does the reminder system work?
To make sure you don’t miss anything, the system notifies you about scheduled events on time. A yellow triangle next to the vehicle code signals: the event is approaching — the deadline specified in the “Warning for” field has passed.
When this icon changes to red, this is a clear signal: the deadline has not just arrived, you have already missed it.
In the sub-window, the missed event will be highlighted in red.
For events planned by mileage, the remaining kilometers are calculated automatically — based on data from the planned routes. The system regularly updates this data, but you can also update it manually. To do this, go to the “Settings” > “Actions” section, add the “Update mileages for ‘Maintenance and Repairs’” action and perform it.
This tab is not just another feature, it is a real tool that takes some of your responsibility on itself. Simple to use, but powerful in the end – try it and see for yourself.
