Vehicle History is a powerful function used to locate previous invoices written to any vehicle on file. G-E has a unique history search utility which quickly locates the exact invoice you wish to view. The Vehicle History function is available from many places throughout the software.

To perform a history search for a vehicle, select Vehicle from the Main Menu. Select Vehicle History from the drop down menu. Alternatively, press the Ctrl+H keys from the Main Menu to go directly to the vehicle search listing. Using the vehicle listing that is displayed, select the vehicle for which the history search is to be performed. G-E presents the Search Text dialogue.

Type the text into the search box that you wish G-E to search for and click Ok or press Enter. G-E presents the list of invoices containing the search text in the Vehicle Service History dialogue. All other invoices to the vehicle are not shown. This reduces the size of the list dramatically to start.

The presented list shows the date of each invoice, the invoice number, the total cost of the invoice and the invoice description. Also shown are two columns "Text" and "Part". If the search text is found in the invoice text, a small "x" is shown in the Text column. If the search text is found in the invoice parts listing, a small "x" is shown in the Part column.

Highlight the entry of interest and click View Invoice to view the invoice. Alternatively, highlight the entry and press Enter, press Alt+V or double click the entry to view the invoice.

If the search text is not found, G-E returns a message to this effect and offers the opportunity to enter a new search. If no text is entered for the search (the search text dialogue is left blank), G-E returns all invoices written for the vehicle. The Search Text control presents the search text dialogue for a new text entry.

The History function is best explained with a demonstration, so we will cheat a little here and take you to the sites Images section where a comprehensive Vehicle History Demonstration is already prepared.
