Setting the default location for workshop units
Summary
It is possible to set a default location for vehicles created whilst adding a workshop job. If no default has been set then the user will be prompted to enter the location information at the time of creating the vehicle. All of these defaults can be overwritten at the time of creating the vehicle.
More Information
There are three levels of default; the site default, the user default and the system default. The site default is the highest of these and will overwrite the other default workshop vehicle locations. The user level default will overwrite the system level default but not the site default. If the site default is spaces then the user default will be used. If the user default is spaces and the site default is spaces then the system default will be used. If you have one site, then the system default should be sufficient. If you have more than one site, set the site default. Only very rarely would you need to set a default for a specific user.
