Mechanical

On this page you can search and add operations for mechanical repairs to a work list. The page has two main sections:

1. Search and tree structure panel

In the search field, you can search for a mechanical operation or package by entering the operation number or a search string. Perform the search by clicking the icon. The search function also supports search by key words.

Below the search function, the mechanical operations are presented in a tree structure, structured by function group. Each function group in the tree structure can be expanded by clicking the icon or double clicking the function group until you find the right function.

2. List of operations

When a search has been performed or a function is selected from the tree structure, a list of operations is presented in the right-hand panel.

The list is structured in the following columns:

Column	Description
Operation No.	Operation number.
Description	Title of the operation.
Variant Desc	Variant description, e.g. XC90 D5244TX.
Skill	Skill level required to perform the operation, e.g. 2. See the article Standard of technical competencies for further information.
VST	Volvo Standard Time. For further information, see Volvo Standard Time (VST).
Max Qty.	Many operations have a max quantity limit (often 1). It is not possible to add a variant of an operation to a work list if the maximum quantity of the operation is exceeded.
Labour Cost	Labour rate of the operation.
Packages	If there is a package available for an operation, this is indicated with a icon. By clicking this icon, a pop-up is opened from which you can see details of the package and add it to a work list. Parts included in the package can be added separately to a work list or parts list, if desired. Please note the following: If you add a package to a work list, the operation and parts are automatically included. If you add an operation to a work list, the package is not automatically included. There is often a max quantity limit (1) for each package you add to a work list.

Select operation(s) to add by using the checkboxes on the left-hand side of each row in the list. From the drop-down menu below the list, you can select the list you want to add the operation(s) to. You can also select to create a new one. Retrieve a quick view of a list by clicking View List. When desired list is selected, click the Add to List button to add the operation(s).

Note

It is not possible to have more than max quantity (often 1) of an operation or package in a list. If the max quantity is already reached when adding and item, this is indicated with a notification.

Language settings

In the upper right-hand side of this page, a drop-down menu containing all languages that are included in the Operations and Packages functionality on your market is available. Here you can change the language on the descriptions of the operations and packages to another language than the VIDA application language. Changing language can e.g. be useful when communicating with a customer talking another language than the default VIDA language. Note that all application texts always follow the default application language and will not be affected by the language selected in this drop-down menu. This dynamic language change only affects the operation and package descriptions on the Operations and Packages pages. Previously opened tabs or any tabs that will be opened later will not be affected.

Note

Search within Operations and Packages will follow the dynamic language.
