How Do I Configure Vehicles?

The Vehicles Pane, located under the Assets tab, allows you to manage your fleet by adding and editing vehicle records. Each vehicle entry typically represents a truck or transport unit used in your collection and delivery operations.

⚠️ Note: Vehicles cannot be deleted at this time, only edited.
