What's new? 



Unit Product Type and Data Fields 


This feature allows the Dealership to setup Unit Product Types ie Trailers / RV etc with specific Unit Data Fields (fields to do with that Unit Product Type ie weight / length etc)


These Unit Product Types would then be assigned to specific Unit Records which means that the Unit Data Fields will be available for filling out  


The Dealership can also elect to have the Unit Data Fields to appear on specific documentation ie Dealership would like to see the Unit Data Field > Weigh on Service Documents etc  


The best idea is for you to go and check it out and see if this new feature is for you by reviewing our updated article on System Settings - Overview - System Settings > Settings & Controls and the section you need to review is called Unit Product Types / Unit Data Fields
