Each vehicle's record carries a Jobcards tab listing every jobcard that vehicle has ever been on. It's the workshop's-eye view of a car: not "what has this person spent with us" but "what has happened to this metal".
Why it's separate from customer history
Cars get sold. A vehicle might have three different customers over a decade. The customer history shows you what that customer has had done; the vehicle history shows you what the car has had done, regardless of who owned it at the time.
When a car comes back under a new owner, the new owner can't see the previous customer's name on a printout — but the workshop sees the full service history so the technician knows when the timing belt was last changed.
What's in each row
- Date the jobcard was created
- Jobcard reference + status
- The customer who was linked at the time
- Mileage In recorded on that visit
- The jobcard title, with the full jobs / parts / labour breakdown one click away (each row expands)
The list covers jobcards from every garage in your company, subject to your access in each garage.
Searching and adding
A search box above the list ("Search jobcards, parts, labour…") filters the vehicle's history, so you can answer "when did we last do the brakes on this car?" without scrolling. It starts matching from the second character.
Next to it is a New Jobcard button, which opens the New Jobcard dialog with this vehicle already filled in.
Vehicle-level reminders
The MOT due date lives on the vehicle, not the customer. MOT, service and timing-belt reminders are scheduled when a jobcard containing a tagged job is completed, and they go to the customer on that jobcard. When a car changes hands, the next completed jobcard schedules reminders for the new owner.
They aren't managed from this tab. The vehicle's Reminders tab is where you see what's scheduled, edit or cancel it, and send it now, and it's also where the vehicle's internal staff reminders live.
