When an external vehicle record (for external third party brokerage rental) is created some of the fields contained in the external vehicle form may already be populated with values when first accessed. These values (or defaults) are set up from within this option. This is useful for both field validation and limiting the number of required key depressions.
To access external vehicle defaults:
From the Master Menu, select the Vehicle rentals option and Company required.
The VEHICLE RENTALS menu is displayed.
Select System maintenance option.
The System Maintenance menu is displayed.
Select the External vehicle defaults option.
The External vehicle defaults form is displayed.
The External Vehicle defaults form is displayed when the External Vehicle defaults option is selected from the System Maintenance menu.
The form displays a large number of fields which hold all the data for the external vehicle record. The required field must be located (by using the scroll bar if necessary) and updated with the default value required.
Note: It must be noted that the values entered are not validated and that the changes, once made, are automatically saved back to the file.
COMMAND BUTTONS:
Exit: Returns to the System maintenance menu without saving any changes.
Help: Displays online context-sensitive help using the default browser.
Cancel: Returns to the System maintenance menu without saving any changes.
Save: Exits the form and saves any edited values back to the file.
