How do I stop the Retention Centre sending messages?

Summary

This article will explain how to stop the Retention Centre sending messages permanently.

More Information

There may be a need to stop the Retention Centre sending messages out for a vehicle for numerous reasons:

• The vehicle has been scrapped.
• The customer has sold the vehicle.

There are two ways of doing this, either by editing the vehicle directly or when taking a booking in the workshop.

Editing the Vehicle Directly

First we need to find the vehicle so go to " Unit Sales Add or Edit Vehicles" and enter the information you have to search for the vehicle, e.g. 'Registration number'.

• Select the correct vehicle.
• Press <F5> to edit the vehicle.
• Click on the [Features] tab.
• Choose the "Marketing" Category.
• Choose the 'Message Exclusion Feature' from the "Unallocated" column and double click to allocate it or use <F5> to allocated the feature.
• Press <Esc> and accept the changes to the vehicle.

While Creating a Workshop Job

• Search for the customer in the workshop job.
• You will see a list of all the vehicles that customer has registered to their account.
• If the customer no longer owns one of these vehicles, use the <Ctrl+F10> Mark as MSX option. This will have the same effect as the first option above.
