Here is a trick to manually add items (ex: new vehicle models and makes, new countries in customer on customers file) to the editable drop-down lists in GEM-CAR.

Here are 2 examples:

1. Add more countries to customer's file

• Click on the field (ex: Country) and not the down arrow,
  • You will notice that cursor changes from the pointing arrow to the text bracket, this indicates you that you can type in the field and manually add and item ex:  a country),
• Type in the item to be added to the list (ex: Germany),
• Click on the disk to save,

• Later when you go to the list, the new country will be added automatically.

2. Add more makes and models to the vehicles

• In the Point of Sale, click on the Make or Model field,
• Type in the information and press Enter,

 

 

 

 

• Answer "Yes" to create and add a new vehicle model to the list.

Note

Note: Always double check your entries before saving because some drop-down lists in GEM-CAR do not yet allow editing. And you can only remove entrie(s) from the drop-down list as long as it is not being use by any customer or vehicule. (ex: if 3 customers use the country: Germany, Germany can only be deleted from the list after you've deleted it from the list on all 3 customers, and not by selecting another country for these customers.

Delete an entry in a drop-down list

• Select the item in the list,

• Once it's highlited in the field, simply delete or edit it,
• Click on the disk to save the changes for the next time.
