Dizzysoft Software

I’ve tried to make this as intuitive as possible, but just in case you can’t read my mind, here’s how you can use the program:

1. If you are not currently using the Mileage program (by dizzysoft), when you first start Maintain it will ask you for your vehicle’s current mileage. Just enter it on the field provided. If you have been using Mileage, the Maintain program will skip this step and read the latest mileage entry from your Mileage program. In either case this mileage figure will appear in the upper-right corner of your screen. You can always change this figure by entering an “m” on the main screen or by the menu.
2. At this point you will need to enter the service requirements for your vehicle. These are usually found in your owner’s manual or perhaps online. To do this, tap the “New” button to pull up the “Service Details” form.
   
   1. On the “Service Details” form you can enter the type of service you wish to record.
   2. Next enter the frequency of the service (in miles) in the “Every:” field.
   3. Last enter the last mileage reading where this service was preformed in the “Last:” field.
      
      Maintain only accounts for services considered by mileage, not date. I chose this route because I figured that customers of Mileage use their vehicle enough so they encounter the mileage requirements before the date requirements. If you have a service requirement that is only suggested in a time period, you can either estimate the mileage to that time period or simply note it on the “Service Type” field.
      
3. Once you have some service details entered into Maintain, it will warn you if some of them are overdue. If you have a color-enabled handheld, it will display the overdue services in red (or any color you choose from the menu).
4. The services will be displayed in this list by order of the last time the service was preformed. That means the most overdue services will be on the top.
