If you are using Workshop Software on a PC, Mac or laptop you will want to print off job cards for each car as it is worked on, but if you are running a paperless workshop and using a tablet then you do not need to actually print the job card off. This guide will show you both options:
1. Click on ‘Job Centre’ from the left hand navigation menu options.
2. To print a job card for an existing job, double click on the customer details:
3. Add any information or notes that you want the mechanic to see in the Job Card Notes section located at the bottom right hand corner of the page.
4. Once you’ve saved any job notes, click on the blue icon next to the ‘Star’ icon on the right hand side of the page and select ‘Print Job Card’ from the dropdown menu.
5. The job card will then open in a new tab for you to view and then print, the mechanic can add any notes by hand, these can then be entered into the invoice if need be.
6. If you are using Workshop Software (not the mobile app) on a tablet such as an iPad there is no need to print the job card out, you can view the job and add to it straight from the job centre.
