Part of a kit - Linking associated assets/additional vehicles to a parent vehicle in PoolCar
What is it? |
|
There is a little-known feature in PoolCar that allows a customer to specify another vehicle's rego that an asset/vehicle is always associated with. | |
Example |
|
An example of this is an asset, in this case, a trailer, which is linked to a specific vehicle the trailer is always attached to. In this case, if the "parent vehicle" is booked, the trailer that is "part of a kit" will be booked for the same period. This feature could be used for any assets that are always linked to a specific vehicle e.g. trailer, generator, defibrillator, etc. | |
Set-up |
|
To set this up,
| |
Vehicle Register | |
Asset Register | |
How it works in practice |
|
Next time someone makes a booking on the parent vehicle, the associated asset will automatically be booked for the same period. | |
Booking calendar | |
Note |
|
Please note that this process creates a separate booking with a unique booking ID on the associated asset. Therefore the PoolCar system treats them as individual bookings and check-out/check-in, editing and deleting will need to be actioned on all associated bookings. Multiple assets including other vehicles can be linked to a single 'parent' vehicle. | |
