 | With this screen, you can Add, Delete or select a Vehicle. You do not need to add vehicle information if you do not want to. This is for tax purposes and if you use more than one vehicle, this will help you remember when you drove what. The tax reports will show this information. |
Choose a short well descriptive name for the Nickname. I use the name I normally call my vehicle like VOLVO or PASSAT etc. In the reports the Full Vehicle Information is used. What you put in here is also your choice, but I suggest the model name, manufacturer, year and whatever other information you may deem fit. The Category type is also your choice and was added just as a convenience for reporting purposes or cost analysis. After all the relevant information is added, tap on the save button.
After you added your first vehicle, it will appear in the selection list at the top of the screen together with the word NEW. I you want to add more vehicles, select NEW first, otherwise you will modify anoher vehicle's information.
There is also the Select button. If you choose to use another use anoher vehicle today, select the vehicle from the list, enter the odometer reading and tap select. If you do not enter an odometer reading, the vehicle will not be selected. After selection, the application will write the information about the selected vehicle into the visits table of the database and set the current odometer.
You can also Delete a vehicle from the database, by checking the delete checkbox and tapping the Delete button. In normal circumstances, you should not delete vehicles as this will give you a permanent record.
