Alignment Readings

For a wheel alignment and tyre shop: record camber, caster and toe (before and after) per wheel on the job card, print them on the report the customer takes away, and keep them in the vehicle's history so the next visit can be compared. Needs Job Cards on.

Switch: Settings > Projects > Alignment Readings (nested under Job Cards).

Where it appears

Vehicle service shell: the Readings action on a job card in progress; the readings block on the job card print and in vehicle history.

Flow

flowchart LR
    J[Job card: in progress] --> R[Readings form
per wheel: camber · caster · toe · before / after]
    R --> S[(Readings kept on the service record)]
    S --> P[Job card print with readings table]
    S --> H[Vehicle history: compare with last visit]
    R -->|mistyped| R

The form reopens on what this visit already measured, so a wrong figure can be corrected.

Setting it up

flowchart LR
    A[Job Cards already on] --> B[Settings > Project
Alignment Readings on]
    B --> C[Open a card that is in progress]
    C --> D[Record camber, caster and toe
before and after]
    D --> E[Readings print on the job card]
    E --> F[Kept in the vehicle’s history
compare on the next visit]

Switch it on, put the master behind it in place, then do the first one — in that order, or the first one will not have anything to pick.
