Paint

On this page you can search and add operations for paint 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 paint operation 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 paint 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 by 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.
Dm2	Surface in square decimeters.
Jv1	Surface layer, touch-up repairs. Defects like thin paint, fogging, patchiness, inaccurate color match, substandard touch-up repairs.
Jv2	Touching up: when the damaged area covers between 5% and 40% of the total surface.
Jv3	Damage which necessitates grinding right down to the bare metal and where filler is needed to cover less than 25% of the surface. Also includes touch-up repairs that cover more than 40% of the total surface.
Jv4R	Painting of new parts that have been damaged in transit and through handling. Damage that covers less than 5% of the surface. JV4R also includes all necessary interior painting.
Jv4W	Painting of new parts that have been damaged in transit and through handling. Damage that covers less than 5% of the surface. JV4W also includes all necessary interior painting.
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 the max quantity (often 1) of an operation or package in a list. If the max quantity is already reached when adding an 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.
