Operation
A database is a collection of information to be
sorted and retrieved as needed for analysis.
Available information includes the car owner’s
name, address, phone number; the vehicle
make/model/year, VIN number, and mileage;
plus the date of service along with before and
after alignment readings. This information is
stored on the computer hard drive for later
retrieval. Once retrieved, the information can
be reviewed and can become the starting
point for a new alignment.
Adding Customer Information
Using the pointing device or TAB key to move
around each of the text blocks, the operator
enters information about the customer and his
vehicle using the keyboard. Selecting OK will
save the record to file for later retrieval.
Selecting a Stored Record
Stored or existing records can be sorted and
retrieved in several different ways – drill down
through data records, sort alphabetically by
last name, by telephone number, vehicle
license plate number, vehicle VIN number,
by date or by listing of all records. Once the
desired record is visible, clicking on the plus
sign expands the list to bring up a particular
data set. When selecting alphabetically,
select the first letter of the customers name
and highlight it using the pointing device.
Double click with the left button when the
desired record is highlighted. The complete
record will be displayed with stored data.
Adding a New Customer
A new record can be entered by clearing all
information on the data window. Information
is cleared by selecting Clear Fields on the
toolbar (F7). Once the screen has been
cleared, enter the new customer information
as desired. If another record is desired for
an existing customer, highlight his name as
using the pointing device, and begin entering
information at the blank screen.
