Hi Car Dealers!
At the beginning of next week, you’ll receive another update focused on the reception employee. As mentioned before, the employee will now handle loading and unloading the parts repair machine.
Since this is another task added to the system - and more are planned - we’re introducing a simple panel for managing task priorities.
From this window, you can choose which tasks are active and in what order the employee should perform them. Just toggle a task on or off and rearrange the priority list to your liking.
The employee will move between storage and the repair machine. For now, they will only go to storage when there are at least 5 valid parts meeting both the broken-item conditions and your machine settings.
Example: if the machine repairs items only up to 80%, the employee won’t pick up parts that exceed that percentage.
The employee creates packages with up to 10 slots - similar to online shop parcels - and uses them to transport parts to the machine.
In the next update, we’ll also add a UI that lets you define the minimum number of items required before the employee starts the task. We want to avoid situations where they constantly interrupt other duties just to pick up single parts. Soon, you’ll have full control over this threshold.
And this is only the beginning - more employee-related improvements are on the way.
In the meantime, we invite you to check out the forum thread where we gather your feedback and ideas for future updates:
