Required Fields

Top  Previous  Next

 

Garage Assistant allows you to force a number of fields to be required before an invoice is allowed to be issued

This helps to keep your database consistent and ensure you don't miss any important details.

 

You can do this by going to

 

1. Admin

2. Select Required Fields

 

 

At present the fields available are :

 

Registration
Make & Model
Derivative
Chassis No
Engine CC
Engine Code
Mileage
Date of Reg

 

Full Name
House No
Road
Locality
Town
Post Code
Telephone
Mobile

 

Department
Order Ref
Terms

 

At least 1 technician
MOT Reminder if MOT Done
Service Reminder if done*
Cambelt Reminder if done*

 

 

For Service & Cambelt reminder, you will also need to enter a term which will trigger this check, for instance 'carry out service'

This means, every time you enter Carry out service as a labour line, GA3 will check if a service reminder is set.

 

So, entering just the word Service is not a good idea, this would trigger the dialog box when typing service brakes, service air con etc etc.

 

When you try to issue an invoice where a section of information is missing, you will be prompted to enter the information by a dialog box as shown below

 

 


 

 

None of the settings on this screen will apply if the user has administrative privileges set to yes.
