The workshop diary typically shows one line per day with the following columns :-

 Day:                the day of the week

 Date:                the date

 Shift :                the shift number - normally always a "1" unless multiple shifts have been configured.

 Available:        The number of hours available on the day (this decreases as work is booked in).

 Loan:                The number of courtesy cars available on the day (this decreases as courtesy cars are allocated).

 Tot Hours :        The number of hours on the day in total (this is calculated as a multiple of the opening hours and the total of the efficiencies of all the technicians).

 # Jobs:                The no of jobs that have been booked in for the day.

 C&D                The no of collections/Deliveries that have been booked for the day.

 MOT's:                The no of MOT's that are booked in for the day.

 Available Time:        This is a colour coded graphical representation of the hours available on the day - this reduces as hours are booked and is green if >25% of the total time available

                 is left, and red if the day is overbooked

Double-clicking on a date line will display the detail of work booked in for that day :-

Each job booked in for the day is shown, along with the customer, vehicle details.  The total time booked in and a break down of the job instructions entered onto the job card.  If the vehicle is due for collection or has a loan car allocated then this is also displayed.

The diary for the day can be printed by clicking File > Print.  This print can be useful as a reference for scheduling and as a backup to Navigator if there is a system issue.
