When the Tyre Import function reports that tyres have been replaced it also reports upon the tread depth at the time of the replacement. For given tread depths the system uses this table to perform an automatic recharge to the customer of a percentage of the tyre value. For example, a tyre replaced when the tread depth is at 2mm may not attract a recharge; but a tyre replaced when the tread depth is 5mm may attract a recharge percentage of 50% of the tyre value back to the customer. This table enables a sliding scale of recharges.

Tyre Tread Remaining: The tread depth left on the tyre at the time of replacement (in millimetres).
Recharge %: The associated recharge percentage to the customer for the associated tread depth.
The list displays up to a maximum of twenty five records at any one time. To view the remaining records the Scroll Bar immediately to the right of the second column can be operated in a number of ways:
COMMAND BUTTONS:
A number of command buttons are available. Some buttons are context sensitive and are greyed-out and only become available dependent upon the particular process that is being accessed. The full list of command buttons is as follows:
Exit: Exits the current form and returns to the Tyre Import Menu.
Help: Provides online access to a context sensitive Help form.
Grid: Displays all records. Each field for the record is displayed in the appropriate row with the code displayed in the left-hand column and the field data in the right hand column(s). Selection of this command button makes available several alternative command buttons not available within Column mode:
Sort: Sorts the records by the chosen keypath. Upon selection, a Keypath List Box is displayed from which the appropriate keypath (if there is more than one) is selected.
Refresh: Redisplays the records on the form with any new modifications.
Reverse: A checkbox that, when ticked, displays the records in descending order.
Autorefresh: A checkbox that, when ticked, automatically redisplays all records on the form after an amendment.
Start At: Restricts a Sort by allowing entry of a text string from which to start.
Finish At: Restricts a Sort by allowing entry of a text string at which to finish.
Fields: The purpose of this command button is to allow the display of a user-defined selection of fields for every record. This is intended to reduce data entry errors. It is not really applicable to this form.
Ad-hoc: Selection of this button displays a further form that provides an Ad-hoc Report Generator for the creation of quick query reports to form. An enquiry is formulated by completing a simple set of verbs and field names. A saved formulated query can be retrieved for future use.
Column: Displays one record at a time. Within this option, records may be created, amended or deleted.
Whilst within Grid mode, the record table may be edited with a single-right-click of the mouse in either of the two columns which then displays a small menu box with the following options:
Edit Row: Allows the current cause code description to be edited. Alternatively, single-left-click into the row, enter the appropriate data and use the Tab key to move to the next column.
Insert Row: Inserts a blank row above the selected record so that a new cause code /description may be added.
Delete Row: Deletes the selected cause code record.
Copy: Enables the cause code description for one record to be copied to other records to speed data entry.
Filter: Presents a Selection Criteria Box which enables selection of only those records meeting the selection criteria. The following mutually exclusive selection criteria option buttons/fields are available:
Equals: Searches the column for a description matching that entered in the data entry box at the bottom of the form. Any records equaling the criteria are displayed.
Not Equal: Searches the column for a description matching that entered in the data entry box at the bottom of the form. Any records equaling the criteria are not displayed.
Greater Than: Searches the column for any records with a text character string which is alphabetically higher than the character(s) entered in the data entry box at the bottom of the form. Any records greater than the criteria are displayed.

No Filter: No filter is applied to the record search. The Reset command button also activates the "No Filter" option.
