Services

From EPOD

This screen is specific to Services.

You can create new services, edit them or delete them if you are a full admin user.

The screen only displays the data for your default site.

The screen allows you to filter the data by:

  • Load ID.
  • Job ID.
  • Service ID.
  • Service Type.
  • Job Status.
  • Job Group.
  • Reg Number.
  • VIN Number.
  • SIM number.
  • Customer Code.

Once you enter the filter information and click Search, the screen displays all matching service items in a results table below:

Services/Service Items

Alternatively, if you click 'Create Excel Spreadsheet, the screen will export the service data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The functionality differs per the browser you have used to access the Admin system, but the likely result is the spreadsheet file will offered for download.

Depending on the status of the line, the screen will colour the lines:

  • Pending - No colour.
  • Complete - Green.
  • Cancelled - Red.

The screen will display a single line per Service Job and Item found.

You can sort each column by clicking on the column header - if you click again this will reverse the sort sequence.


If you click the Details button against each line, the screen will display the details of the specific Service or Service Item by calling the Service Details screen.

If the job is complete, you can view the Service Report by clicking the Report button against each Service Job line in the table at this status. From there you can email or print the service report.


New Service Items

The screen allows you to create a new Service and Service Item, by pressing the provided "New" button at the top of the screen.

The screen may show multiple tabs for many purposes. These allow data to be viewed, edited or added, for example:

  • Info UDF - User-defined Forms information, entered by the user when starting a service or service item.
  • Diagnosis UDF - User-defined Forms information, entered by the user when completing a service or service item.
  • Prework UDF - User-defined Forms information, entered by the user before starting a service or service item.
  • Postwork UDF - User-defined Forms information, entered by the user after completing a service or service item.
  • Photos - When a service is completed, the driver may have taken images if the service or service item is cancelled, or as part of the many UDF points. If so, this tab allows viewing of all the photos in a gallery. If you click the link to the photo from the other tabs, this Photos tab will open and show the related images. Any comments that may have been entered by the driver will be displayed for each image, along with a description of at what stage the image was taken.
