During the repair process, you can face various problems that may result in a failure to perform a particular repair service or the whole repair phase. You can report critical problems to indicate that the work cannot be continued until these problems are resolved.
Repair Problems Settings
You can configure repair problems reporting in the ReconPro Back Office application.
Problem Reasons
If some problems occur quite often or there are typical problems you are aware of, you can create a list of problem reasons that you can select from when reporting a problem.

Click Add on the toolbar, and then in the Problem Reason dialog box, enter the appropriate text in the Problem Reason box, and click OK.
