1. Annual Mileage: The annual mileage is calculated based on past visit odometer readings for this particular vehicle. If it’s the first visit for this vehicle, it defaults to 13,000.
2. Service Interval: If you update the service interval from here, this will be the new interval going forward. Only change it if you want this to be the new interval. The next service date is based on service interval/period whichever comes first.
3. Period: If you update the time period from here, this will be the new interval going forward. Only change it if you want this to be the new interval. The next service date is based on service interval/period whichever comes first.
4. Remind to call: Add a reminder to call the customer for declined services which appears in the task manager, and call campaigns
5. Days Until Reminder: If Remind to Call is checked above, the reminder will occur after the number of days selected here. Choose between 1-14 days to set the reminder call
6. Next Service: The next service date is based on service interval/period whichever comes first.
7. Current Visit Type: Change what the current visit should be recognized as if needed. By default, a visit is recognized as a maintenance visit if maintenance jobs are included on the work order. Your maintenance jobs were defined by AutoVitals during onboarding. If AutoVitals is not accurately recognizing the visit, please submit a help ticket.
8. Current ODO: Odometer from the current visit
9. Next Visit ODO: This is the estimated odometer for the next visit. It is based on the annual mileage and when the next service date is set for.
10. Reminder/Appointment Toggle: Toggle between setting an appointment or reminder for the next visit. It is a best practice to schedule the next visit rather than set a reminder. Even if it is far out, the customer will receive appointment reminders with the opportunity to reschedule if needed.
11. Recommendations listed in the PoS. Click here to learn more about how we pull them from your specific point of sale. 
12. Due Date: The due date is based on the next service date unless there is a due date in the PoS. The due date can be manually adjusted for those jobs designated to appear on the reminder. When the job is set to be included in the next visit, the date cannot be adjusted since there can only be one “next visit” date.
13. Appointment/Reminder/Exclude: Choose whether the specific service appears on the appointment, reminder, or is excluded altogether.
14. Star Icon: If configured, canned jobs from your PoS appear on the service reminder
15. Expand Icon: Expand to see the service details
16. Inspection Results: Recommendations from inspection topics requiring immediate attention. Learn more about how to configure these.
17. Future Attention: Recommendations from inspection topics requiring future attention. Learn more about how to configure these.

By default, the motorist will be set to receive a service reminder for the next visit based on the settings you agreed upon during your product setup. You can turn this scheduled service reminder into a scheduled appointment when speaking to the customer at pickup. To do this, switch the setting highlighted below from reminder to appointment.

Additionally, if only some services should be included in the scheduled appointment you can set the others to be included in a service reminder or excluded from both the appointment and reminder by adjusting the radio button next for “Appoint.,” “Reminder,” or “Exclude.”

In call campaigns, there is a section for following up with customers who had a recent visit. You can set the filters based on the number of days since the visit, dollar amount spent, and number of recommendations to determine who should be a part of your call campaign.  

The remind to call checkbox in the CRM Next Visit tab should be used if you need to follow up with a customer outside of this ordinary post-visit follow up. You can specify between 1-14 days for this follow up call, and the reminder will appear in your call campaigns list.
