Manager 2.0 supports multiple users and instruments in the same application.
If you have multiple employees and you would like to have all of their mileage controlled from a central location or
if you have multiple vehicles as a single user.
- Single user using multiple instruments in the same Manager application
- Multiple users using their own instrument in the same Manager application
Single user multiple instrument
If a person is using multiple instruments from different vehicles.
There are 2 methods depending on the end result
- Install all instruments under the same user
- Create multiple user with one instrument per user
Methods 1
Install all instruments under the same user (single person is using multiple instrument )
Pro
You can print a separate report , by vehicle by selecting only the serial number related to the vehicle.
You can print a single report for all mileage done from this user for all the vehicles he used.
Con
If you add manual trips, they can only be printed along with ALL instruments.
Manual trips are per user, they are not related to an instrument so when ever you print a report for a user , they would always print. if you select a specific instrument, manual trips will not be printed as you are selecting trip from a particular instrument only.
For example, you can not print trips from instrument no1 including manual trips.
You must print all trips from all instruments to get the Manual trips.
Methods 2
Create one user per instrument (single person is using multiple instrument )
Example create 2 users:
User 1: Your name _Car 1
User 2: Your name_Car2
Pro
You can print a separate report, by instrument (as each vehicle are used separately).
If you have 2 cars, you can create the user1 YourName_car1 and user2 YourName_car2 .
User will have each instruments related to the car they are used in.
When printing a full report for car1 or car 2 they will print including their own manual trips.
Con
You can not print a single report for all mileage done on all the vehicles for this person into one single report.
Since they are separate "users", you need to print as many reports as there are users.
