Hold

When a vehicle has out of date MOT, Insurance, Inspection, Tax or Service Journease will change the relevant column for that vehicle to RED and automatically place that vehicle on hold until the fault is remedied (the Column will change to Orange when dates are approaching to give you warning), This means that Journease will not allow you to use this vehicle when creating a Job.

Journease will also place a Vehicle on hold if a critical fault is found during the daily checks by clicking the Hold Vehicle tick box under the Defects section of the Vehicle check window. For Journease Mobile users this will be done automatically when the daily check app is synced.

If the Vehicle is on hold because of an out of date action then updating the column will take the vehicle off hold and change the column colour back to blue.

If the Vehicle is on hold because of a defect then the Hold tick box cannot be unticked from this window, to take a Vehicle off Hold the change would need to be made in the Daily Checks window (Vehicles & Services/Vehicle Checks) or the Vehicle Defects window (Vehicles & services/Vehicle Defects)
