This help file details how to find and use the Forms and Reports of the Machinery Control system.  At the top of each page is a pull down menu listing each main page in this manual.  To use it, select a page name from the list and click the Go button.  At the bottom of each page are up to two sets of links.  The top set lists all pages within the current level while the bottom set lists all pages that exist just beneath the current topic.  The top set of links does not appear on this page since there are no other pages on the same level.

• Machines:  A form where you store all the information about Public Works machines.
• Time Cards:  Allows you to enter machine usage.
• Machine Maintenance:  Similar to the Machines form, this shows only machines that do not have time cards.
• Service Codes:  These codes are used when entering maintenance records.
• Job Codes:  Some of the codes from the Payroll are used here to link the Machinery Control Time Cards with the Payroll's Time Cards.

As well, under the municipality name on the Machinery menu, there could be something like "24 Vehicles" in red.  Clicking on the red word Vehicle will bring up the Upcoming Service report.  Overdue maintenance items will have a red asterisk on the far right on that report.
