These training modules are designed to train Service Advisor users on the basic processes in Garage Hive. Users will be tested on all the modules before your go-live date and scored on progress.

It is important to understand all elements of the process to benefit from all the value Garage Hive has to offer.

In the training Modules we’ll cover the following topics:

   
Module 1 Getting Started (This includes the Role Centre, Creating a Booking and Populating a Jobsheet)
Module 2 Purchasing (This includes Creating a Purchase Order, Processing a Purchase Order, Viewing Items to Return Report and Creating a Purchase Return Order)
Module 3 Processing a Jobsheet and Invoice (This includes Processing a Vehicle Arriving, Processing a Jobsheet to Invoice)
Module 4 Estimates and Vehicle Inspections (This Includes Creating an Estimate, Processing a Vehicle Inspection)

Module 1 looks at logging into Garage Hive for the first time, creating a booking and populating a jobsheet with some labours and items.

Welcome to Your Role Centre

Your Role Centre Looks as shown below:

  1. Navigation Menu: The top-level navigation menu provides access to the main roles of the business, with the option to expand submenus relevant to the main roles. They include Service, Purchasing, Catalogues and Posted/Archived Documents.
  2. Navigation Bar: The second-level navigation menu provides access to the most useful entities in your business process, such as your customer, their vehicle and item data stored on the system.
  3. Menu Bar: The menu bar provides submenus of the most often used tasks that enable you to create a relevant page quickly.
  4. Data Tiles: Each tile provides a visual representation of business data, such as total Jobsheets open and vehicle inspections, for the vehicles in your workshop booked in for repairs. These tiles will also change to red when action needs to be taken, which prompts you or your service advisor to open it to complete a task relevant to that tile.

How to Populate a Jobsheet

Here are a few methods on how to populate the Jobsheet:

  1. Manually Populating a Jobsheet - This involves adding the items and labours one by one in the Lines FastTab.

       
    Step 1 Open the Jobsheet.
    Step 2 Scroll down to the Lines FastTab.
    Step 3 Select the type of entity to add in the Type column. It can either be Item or Labour.
    Step 4 Then select the number for the Item or Labour in the No. column. If the item is not in stock, you can use a Placeholder Item number.
    Step 5 Repeat this for all the items and labour you want to add.
       

  2. Service Packages - These are pre-created packages which includes items and labours put together to help create jobs faster, simplify job pricing, increase consistency and so on.

       
    Step 1 Open the Jobsheet.
    Step 2 Select Lookup from the Menu bar, followed by Service Packages.
    Step 3 Select the Service Package to add and click OK. If you don’t have service packages created, you can learn how to create one and add it or contact support.
    Step 4 The Service Package Items and Labour is added to the Lines FastTab.
       

  3. Repair Times - This refers to the vehicle repair information obtained from external providers, like Autodata, which includes both labours and items.

       
    Step 1 Open the Jobsheet.
    Step 2 From the menu bar, Select Lookup, and then Repair Times.
    Step 3 Double-check the vehicle details to ensure that the correct data is pulled.
    Step 4 Select the correct Repair Category to add, followed by the Repair Groups.
    Step 5 In the Repair Summary page, select the checkbox in the include column for the lines you want to add to the Jobsheet.
    Step 6 After selecting the lines you want, click on the Add Lines to Document option from the menu bar. This will add the selected lines to the Jobsheet.
