Configuring Vehicles in the Maintenance Connect Wizard

The Maintenance Connect Wizard takes you through the steps for the following tasks:

 

Defining if you will receive a weekly InSight Alert report.
Adding selected vehicles to a service plan or removing selected vehicles from a service plan.
Specifying whether you would like to receive a weekly or monthly Fleet Maintenance Schedule report.
Defining the name and contact details of your organization's preferred mechanical service provider.
Connecting to your organization's preferred mechanical service provider.

If your preferred service provider's email details are entered into the wizard, they are also emailed copies of your fleet maintenance schedule and InSight Alert reports, if these reports are selected in the wizard.

Weekly and Monthly Fleet Maintenance Schedule Reports

Fleet maintenance schedule reports list all schedules configured for vehicles in your fleet, and include details about the schedules and service types assigned to vehicles; the intervals specified between these schedules and when they are due (the calendar date, miles, or engine hours); the number of miles, hours, or days remaining until the schedule is due; and whether the schedule is currently overdue or not.

Once this report, or the InSight Alert report, has been configured in the Maintenance Connect Wizard, the settings can be edited. To do this, from the Reports section of the navigation bar choose Manage Reports. Click the Saved & Scheduled tab, select the Weekly/Monthly Fleet Maintenance Schedule report or Weekly InSight Alert report, then click Options on the toolbar. Select Report Options or Save & Schedule Options to open dialog boxes that let you edit which vehicles to include in the reports, the name of the reports, their email recipients and their delivery schedules, and which day of the week and time of the day to run the report.
