About six months I surveyed this forum regarding the idea of creating an application specifically for home auto hobbyists. A number of members were kind enough to provivide some excellent feedback. At this time I have completed the application based on how I interpreted the feedback and perceived assumptions. Tentatively it is called GearHead Databox.
The application works in Windows 10.
In short the application provides the following:
1. Ability to save the following to a database: - Information regarding vehicles including type, model, purchase cost, current valve, market value, etc. The ability to veiw and save images is included. - Parts tracking by vehicle and category,, costs, etc.The ability to veiw and save images is included. - Tools tracking vehicle and category,, costs, etc.The ability to veiw and save images is included. - Mainteance tracking vehicle and category,, costs, etc - Organzation of reference materials by category.The ability to veiw and save images is included.
2. Vehicle, parts and tools information can be printed out complete or only selected items. The print-outs can used as addendums for wills and living trust documents.
3. Selected parts and tools information can be saved as a formatted image and made available to label makers that print image labels (JPG). Parts and tools labels include value information.
4. Quick Analysis Charts: allow a visual view of selected vehicle, parts, tools and maintenance data.
5. There is extensive use of editable drop down lists (select and click) to minimize the typing of input data. This also helps ensure data integrity and more exacting analysis. For example; While Chevy and Chevrolet are pragmatically the same, they are distinctly different items to a database.
6. Log-ins are assigned a user name, password and security level by the administrator. Only a user with administrator security level can view and edit all data. Those with other levels posses lesser privileges.
I would like to get feeback from actrual users of the application. Therefore I am offfering the application free to those that would provide feedback. I need five people to test and provide feedback. The application and database would be theirs to keep.
I only ask that if you have an interest, that you message me with your email address (needed for DrpBox download): - Requesting the application - It is for your personal use - You will not make copies for others (O.K. if for own use) - Provide me with feedback
