# Job Cards

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software** enables the quick generating and easy customisation of job cards for confirmed customer orders.

In addition to basic customer order details, job cards can be [customised to contain useful sections](/workshop/docs/job-card-settings#customising-job-cards), including **Existing Damage** and **Tyre Position** diagrams as well as **Customer Acknowledgments** and **Additional Notes** sections.

If there are any booking notes, customer order notes or booking descriptions entered on the order or booking, these will appear in an otherwise hidden **Notes / Description** section at the top at the top of the job card.

Job cards can also be edited to contain [a further customisable Technician Handback section](/workshop/docs/job-card-settings#job-card-handback-checklists).

Job cards can be [generated at any stage](/workshop/docs/job-card-settings#generating-job-cards), once a customer order is [confirmed](https://help.megabus.com.au/docs/customer-orders#confirming-quotes).

### Generating Job Cards

#### Daily Activity > Customer Orders

Job Cards can be generated for confirmed customer orders.

To generate a job card **Open** a confirmed order from the Customer Orders Search list (which can be accessed by selecting Daily Activity > Customer Orders from the menu bar).

At the top right of the customer order window, click the **Print** action button.

          Note

          

Job cards can be generated without first needing to save a customer order.

The **Print** pop-up window will open.

Select the **Job Card** Document Type toggle at the top.

          Tip

          

The default document type for customer orders can be set using the **Report.CustomerOrder.DefaultDocumentType** [company setting](/workshop/docs/company-settings).

Use the **Document Delivery** list below to select an output type for the document.

To generate the document and return to the Customer Order screen, click the **Ok** button at the bottom of the pop-up window.

          Note

          

The Printer output option is currently unsupported. To generate a document, first generate it as a PDF, then generate the PDF using a different application.

## Customising Job Cards

The contents of company job cards can be customised using the **CustomerJobCard** [company settings](/workshop/docs/company-settings).

The settings can be accessed from the menu bar by selecting **System > Company > Settings**, and then clicking on the **Company Settings** tab at the top and the **Reports** category on the left.

The **Order Total**, **Handback**, **Diagram**, and **Acknowledgement** sections of the job card can be added or removed by either ticking or unticking the relevant setting's checkbox.

The text at the top of the **Customer Acknowledgment** section can be customised by editing the **Report.CustomerJobCard.Acknowledgment** section.

The number of lines available in the **Additional Notes** section can be customised by editing the value of the **Report.CustomerJobCard.AdditionalNotesLines** setting.

[A customisable list of Handback Items](https://help.megabus.com.au/docs/job-cards-and-sales-orders#job-card-handback-checklists) can also be added by editing the **Report.CustomerJobCard.HandbackItems** setting.

          Note

          

If required, custom job cards can also be created to suit specific purposes, and assigned to customers using reporting categories, enabling different job cards to be printed for different job types. See the [Reporting Category Job Cards](/workshop/docs/reporting-category-job-cards) help guide for more information.

### Job Card Handback Checklists

#### System > Company > Settings > Company settings > Reports

A customised list of checkbox items can be added to the Technician Handback section at the bottom of the job card using the **Report.CustomerJobCardHandbackItems** [company setting](/workshop/docs/company-settings).

Any text can be entered and multiple checkboxes can be added by separating each item with a comma when entering them in the **Value** textbox.

          Example

          

To create the checklist below, enter "**Battery Check, Tyre Polish, Pressure Check, Wheel Nuts Tension**".
