The vehicle detail page

The vehicle detail page is where you manage everything about a single vehicle. It's dense by design, because one screen pulls together shipping, workshop, customer, cost, document, and photo data. This article is a map of what's where.

Opening a vehicle

From Vehicles, click any row. The URL uses the vehicle's stock number (for example /vehicles/IMP-042), so you can bookmark a specific vehicle or share a link with a teammate.

The header

At the top of the page:

• Vehicle title (year, make, model)
• Stock number
• Current stage pill (see Stage pills and what they mean)

The action bar

A row of buttons covering the most common actions. Which you see depends on your role's permissions:

• Edit: change any vehicle field (make, model, VIN, mileage, supplier, origin)
• Move stage: advance through the pipeline (see Moving a vehicle between stages)
• Allocate customer: link a customer and start the sale (see Allocating a customer to a vehicle)
• Assign to shipment: add the vehicle to a container. Shipments & Logistics covers the container mechanics.
• Manage costs: add or edit costs (see Recording vehicle costs)
• Add task: create a workshop task. The Workshop category covers task types, assignees, and due dates.
• Add document: attach a document (compliance, paperwork). The Documents category covers document-type configuration.
• Notify team: send a notification about this vehicle to specific teammates
• Tracking link: manage the customer-facing tracking page (see Sharing a tracking link with your customer)
• Watch: follow the vehicle for notifications (see Watching a vehicle)
• Print: open a print-ready vehicle sheet
• Delete: soft-delete the vehicle (see Deleting a vehicle)

The overview cards

Below the action bar, a set of cards summarise the state of the vehicle at a glance:

• Action required: overdue tasks, missing costs, documents outstanding. Empty when nothing needs attention.
• Overview summary: key status fields.
• Financial summary: total cost, allocated shipment cost, agreed sale price, outstanding balance. See Recording vehicle costs.
• Workflow pipeline: a visual of where the vehicle is in the stage flow.
• Shipment: the container this vehicle is assigned to (if any), with a link to the shipment.
• Workshop tasks: a summary of open tasks and due dates.
• Info: year, make, model, VIN, mileage, supplier, origin.
• Photo: the hero photo. See Vehicle photos.

The tabs

A tab bar below the cards switches between sub-sections of the vehicle:

• Overview: the activity timeline showing every change on the vehicle with who did what and when.
• Auction Sheet: extracted data from an uploaded auction sheet. The Auction Sheets category covers uploads and extraction.
• Notes: internal notes and customer-facing notes. See Notes on a vehicle.

Navigating around

• Unsaved changes in a sheet prompt before closing, so you won't lose work by clicking out.
• Most actions refresh the page automatically so you see the updated state without a manual reload.
• Your browser's back button returns you to the Vehicles list with your previous filter, sort, and page intact.
