Sightings Entry.

The Sightings Entry window is available from the Recording Tab and this is the best place to tell ERD when you have seen or been hauled by a particular vehicle.

The vehicles visible in the list are selected using the selection boxes at the top of the window where the country, type, class etc can be chosen or “all” can be selected in one of the boxes for all vehicles.

To mark a particular vehicle as “seen” you simply point to the its status and click. The vehicle will then be highlighted in green and its status automatically changed to “c” for seen. To mark it as hauled simply click again and it will be highlighted in red with its status changed to “h” for “hauled”. To mark it as not seen or hauled simply double click and the highlighting will disappear and the status will become “n” for “needed. Its as simple as that.

There is an edit on/off switch which is by default set to off. Before you start an editing session you have to turn editing on to prevent errors occurring.

There is a button which brings up the full record screen for each vehicle which can also be accessed by double clicking the vehicle number. You can then enter haulage details, dates or update the times seen field if you wish.

The same reports available from the Stock Record window can also be accessed by pressing the Reports button.
