The Generic colour codes form is displayed when the Generic colour codes option is selected from the DD Miscellaneous Option menu. In a multi-franchise environment, it can be used to group all red vehicles, as opposed to blue ones, green ones, black one, white ones, etc. Even in a single franchise environment, it can provide continuity across colour changes such as Rosso red being replaced by Ruby red, or Regency blue being replaced by Westminster blue, etc. In that way, using the generic colour code, vehicle park and sales analysis data across different specific colour or wheel base codes is possible.
Note: You may view the form is Column format by simply clicking on the Column button.

Tip: Alternatively, clicking the right mouse button on the appropriate field will presents you with a different method of editing.
If generic colour or wheel base analysis in this way is not required then a single code of blank should be set up and, in that way, you will be able to pass over this field when creating or amending specific colour or wheel base records.
When deleting records from this file, or amending the definition of existing codes, full consideration should be given to the impact on the existing CRM company database so far as any records which may refer to the code or codes being deleted are concerned.
