    Feature #31 Automated Future Appointments

    Whenever a repeating scheduled maintenance service is performed, the next appointment for that service is automatically entered on the schedule. The date is calculated according the average miles driven per day according to the vehicle’s service history. Another oil change service will be placed on the schedule a few months away while the next timing belt appointment will be several years later.

    How do you distinguish between these ‘fake’ appointments, since no customer has confirmed them and real confirmed appointments?

    As with many appointment statuses, the preferred way is with colors. 

    Advisor entered appointments are a certain color while system generated appointments are another. 
    Once these future appointments are confirmed the color changes to match advisor entered appointments.
