Running OnSpot Vehicles Reports

How to view OnSpot vehicles via My Lot, Map, and Dashboard.

Once on-spot filter reports have been created and saved, they can be run from My Lot, Map, or Dashboard. Each location will display on-spot vehicles for the definition selected, although each offers various actions as noted below.

OnSpot is a user-defined set of criteria that helps the user determine when an automobile is ready for the next step in its life cycle or inventory process and is another method for managing a group of vehicles based on user-defined criteria
