    How to read a truck's detail page in Dumpster Controls

    Each truck has a full page with tabs for its record, files, photos, and usage, plus quick actions and notes in the sidebar.

    1. 1

      Open the truck

      Click the truck's row on the Trucks list (or "View Details" in the row menu). Use "Back to Trucks" at the top to return.

    2. 2

      Read the header

      The truck's name is followed by its status badge ("Active", "Maintenance", or "Inactive") and a paperwork badge: "Docs Complete" in green, or an amber badge listing what is missing, for example "Missing registration, insurance". The "Edit" button opens the wizard, and the three-dots menu holds "Delete".

    3. 3

      Switch tabs

      Four tabs organize the record: "Overview", "Documents", "Photos", and "Usage".

    4. 4

      Scan the "Overview" tab

      "Truck Information" shows "Model", "License Plate", "VIN", "Year", "Color", "Manufacturer", and "Mileage" (in "mi"). "Document Status" lists "Registration", "Insurance", and "Odometer" as "Uploaded" or "Missing". The "Photos" card shows the four sides with an "{x}/4 uploaded" counter; empty slots say "Click to upload".

    5. 5

      Use the sidebar

      "Quick Actions" jumps to "Upload Docs" and "Upload Photos". "Details" shows "Created" and "Last Updated" dates. "Notes" is a free text box ("Add notes..."); click "Save Notes" and a toast confirms "Notes saved".

    What happens next

    • Uploads made from any tab update the same record, so the "Docs" chips on the list and the header badge stay in sync.

    Troubleshooting

    I see "Truck not found".

    The truck was deleted or the link is stale. Click "Back to Trucks" and open it from the list.
