I made some changes to the form used to add new vehicles to Registry.
Once a Year/Series/Model is selected, it will now auto-fill some of the data on the form:
1) Expected Vehicle Number format with the Body Number pre-inserted. Hopefully, for those not familiar with the numbering, this will help them understand what number we are looking for here.
2) Engine (this will get prefilled with the Factory engine for the selected model. It of course can be changed.
3) Engine Serial format will show what the format looks like and the expected serial number range based on the selected model. Hopefully, this will help to make sure the right number/format is entered.
4) Lastly, the Paint Code field is now a drop-down list, so for any years that have Paint "Scheme" codes, this will show them in a list that can be selected.
All of this is to help standardize the information being added, which then helps with the automated parsing later.
I've been trying to clean up the data as before everything was kind of free-form in the way data was being entered and that caused a headache in being able to correlate data later on.
Hopefully, with this bit of guidance, it will help when folks when new entries are added to the Registry.
This only applies to new Entries. The Change Entry form still allows for complete editing and changes.
