How to start:

This is the car view of Best Car. To add a new vehicle select menu command "Add new".

In this view you can add new cars, edit and delete them.

You can also access application settings via menu command "Settings" and reports via menu command "Reports".

To open a car and go to three views with records: Fuel, Trips and Expenses just click the joystick or select command "Open".


Fuel, trips and expenses views:

When you open a car, you will see the fuel view.

By pressing View button, you can go to trips or expenses.

Here you can find the following commands:

  • Add new;
  • Add from template;
  • Edit;

  • Set category;
  • Templates;
  • Reports;
  • Export;
  • Misc;

    • All;
    • This month;
    • Last month;
    • Custom period;

Other features:

  • You can filter records by date and by category at the same time;
  • You can export records as CSV file (Save as file, Send via Infrared/Bluetooth/MMS/EMail). You could import CSV file at Excel on your PC;
  • You can purge obsolete records (Misc - Purge records), examine reports and configure settings;


Reports:

There are two kinds of reports: text reports and graphs.

You can also filter records in reports. Filters are shown above.


Settings:

In general settings you can select gallons or litres and kilometers or miles. In settings for categories you can add new categories, edit and delete existing categories.


Templates:

It is possible that you always wash you car at the same carwash and it always costs the same. So, you don't want to enter the same data every time you want to add a new expense record. In this case you can create a template and then just use a command "Add from template" in fuel/trips/expenses view. A dialog with values for this new record will be automatically filled with predefined values from the template.
