The Move Car page is a simple screen for one job: pick a vehicle, pick a new parking spot, and save. Most moves happen from the car detail page (see Move a car). Use this dedicated page when you already know you are updating locations and want fewer clicks—or when another page sends you here with a car pre-selected.

​
What you will accomplish

You will change where one car is parked so the Cars list, the car record, and the Parking Spots map all show the same spot. Expected outcome: A green success message confirms the move, and the Select car area shows the vehicle in its new spot.

​
When to use the Move Car page

  • You are walking the lot and moving several cars in a row.
  • Someone shared a link that opens Move Car with a car already chosen.
  • You came from the parking map and want to finish the assignment on a focused form.
  • You prefer searching for cars and spots on one screen instead of opening each car detail page.
When to use the car detail page insteadUse Move a car from the vehicle record when you are already reviewing that car’s history, photos, or customer details. Both paths update the same parking data.

​
Before you start

  • Know which car is moving.
  • Know which spot or zone it is moving to. Check Parking Spots first if you are unsure what is open.
  • Move the physical car before—or at the same time as—you update the record so the map stays trustworthy.

​
Open the Move Car page

Move a vehicle

1

Select the car

In the Select car field, start typing anything you know—plate, spot, make, model, color, VIN, or customer name. Pick the correct vehicle from the list.Expected result: A summary box appears below the search field showing the car’s year, make, model, plate, and color.
2

Choose the parking spot

In the Parking Spot field, search for the destination—for example A3 or Outdoor Lot.A dropdown list shows matching spots from your Parking Spots floor plan. Pick the row that matches the real bay where the car is parked.

Search by spot name. The list only shows locations your facility has set up on the Parking Spots map.Why this matters: Picking the real spot your team uses on the floor plan prevents two cars from showing in the same place on the map.
3

Click Assign Parking Spot or Move Car

Click the blue button at the bottom of the card.
  • Assign Parking Spot — the car did not have a spot yet
  • Move Car — the car is leaving one spot for another
The button stays gray until both Select car and Parking Spot have values.Expected outcome: A green confirmation message appears at the top of the card. The car’s parking assignment updates on Cars, the car detail page, and the Parking Spots map.
4

Read the confirmation message

Pause for one second and read the green message at the top of the card.Why this matters: If the message mentions the wrong spot, fix it right away before the next teammate trusts the map.
5

Move the next car or clear the form

To move another vehicle, click Clear (or change the Select car field) and repeat the steps.Expected result: The form is ready for the next car without old spot data carrying over by mistake.
6

Confirm on the parking map (recommended)

Open Parking Spots and search for the spot you just chose.Why this matters: A five-second map check catches typos before the next teammate trusts the wrong location during a customer pickup.

​
Open Move Car with a car already selected

Sometimes a link includes the car ID—for example when you tap Move from a parking map or an internal tool.
1

Follow the link

When the page loads, the Select car field may already show the vehicle name and plate.
2

Pick only the new spot

Choose the destination in Parking Spot, then click Assign Parking Spot or Move Car.Expected outcome: You skip searching for the car and finish the move in one step.

​
