This topic outlines how to add, edit, and delete vehicles from your database.

Add a Vehicle

Each vehicle you manually add to the system must be added to a vehicle type in the Vehicle Structure.

You can add a new vehicle any of three ways:

•by adding the vehicle on the vehicle type's details page.

•by adding it on the Fleet Management search page and selecting an existing vehicle type in the system in the process.

This topic outlines how to manually add, edit, and delete individual vehicles in VertiGIS FM. You can alternatively import your own internal record of vehicles into the VertiGIS FM database using a CSV or XML file. This option is ideal for adding, editing, or deleting large quantities of vehicles simultaneously (for example, to establish an initial record of your vehicles in the VertiGIS FM database).

1.Navigate to the details page for the vehicle type you want to add a vehicle to.

2.Expand the Vehicles section and click the Add () icon.

3.Enter the new vehicle's details in the corresponding information fields. At minimum, you must select a date in the Commissioning field, under Technical Characteristics.

VertiGIS FM will assign the new vehicle a Stock no. after you save the form, based on the vehicle type you selected in step 4.
