The screens

Warranties

Warranties you have given, and when each one ends.

  1. The cards: how many warranties you have given, how many are still active, how many lapse in the next 60 days, and the next one to end.
  2. The list: what is covered and for what, the project, the vendor who stands behind it, when it starts and ends, the days left and its status.
  3. Search by item or project, or pick a status. New warranty records one, usually at handover.

Service tickets

Complaints and service calls from customers.

  1. The cards: how many tickets there are, how many are open, how many are past the date you promised, and the value you can charge for.
  2. The list: the complaint with its number and whether it is under warranty, the project, priority, when it was reported and how many days ago, who owns it, the charge and the status.
  3. Search by ticket or project, or pick a status. The pencil updates a ticket as work moves; New ticket logs a complaint.
