Late May 2019 System Updates & NewsWhat's New: Check for Existing Service Requests: When opening a service request, you will now be prompted with a notification that lets you know if this particular vehicle already has open service requests! You will received a pop-up like this one: You can hover over any CAR ID on that list and it becomes click-able.  Upon clicking, it will open a new tab with that service request for you to review.

Copy Jobs We are particularly excited about this update, which is the first of many to debut over the next 90 days, helping you save significant time.  You can now go to ANY previous service request and copy an entire job and paste it into a new request.   The easiest example is, let's assume you do an oil change.  If, you  build out the service request once with the correct oil filter, oil and quantity, as well as labor and other charges... you never have to type it out again.    In order test this functionality, search for a previous service by license plate or part number.  From the results list, pick a service request that contains the service you are now performing again. Open that service request, copy the job to the clipboard. Navigate to the new service request and paste it in. In this example we searched by license plate number,  opened a previous request, scrolled to the job and pressed "Copy Job".  Notice a message that says "Success! Job Copied to Clipboard."  We then backed out and went to the new service request, pressed the "Paste" icon and am able to review the job before pasting it.
