Vehicle Types
Vehicle Types in OPS-COM allows administrators to define and manage categories for different kinds of vehicles (e.g., Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Van). This feature is essential for accurate vehicle classification, supporting specific parking rules, and enhancing reporting capabilities within your OPS-COM system.
Using this Feature
Managing Vehicle Types is done through the Manage Vehicle Types page.

Deleting Vehicle Types
In order to delete a vehicle type, it must not be in use by any vehicles in the system. Administrators must first ensure that no vehicles are currently assigned this type before it can be removed. This prevents vehicle records from having blank or invalid information.
