MOT and health check reminders

New features

Reminders

  • Vehicle MOT and health check reminders are now available in the system.
  • MOT reminders are automatically generated for upcoming MOT due dates for vehicles within the system.
  • Health check reminders are optionally generated when a report is created.
  • The reminder system is initially limited to UK regions; this will later be expanded to non-UK regions.

Vehicles

  • Automated MOT due date/V5C issue date refresh service is now implemented for vehicles to assist with MOT reminders.
    • This will only apply to vehicles that have previously had an online lookup used to populate the data.
  • Reminders for a specific vehicle have been added to the edit page.

Emails

  • Styled emails are now used throughout the system rather than plain-text.
  • Customer-facing emails will use the related garage's logo if available.
    • Contact the support team to set this up.
  • Custom email templates can be set up within the system to use your own HTML/branding (allocated to a specific location, group, or reseller depending on requirements).
    • Contact the GMS support team to set this up.

Miscellaneous

  • Locations can now be marked as inactive — these are still operational within the Simple GMS system but will have restricted access to calendar widgets.
  • Added "show x results" customisation functionality for listing pages.
  • Added Italy region/tax settings and widget translations to the system.
  • Resellers can now manage certain location details (e.g. name, time zone, address).
  • Additional location operating hour options.
  • Page speed efficiency updates to vehicle edit section.

🐞 Fixes

  • Fixed issue with missing widget "minutes to refresh" value causing the widget display to flicker (field is now mandatory).
  • Fixed routing issue on Silkmoth admin default page.
  • Fixed issue with vehicle health check follow-up custom dates not displaying on subsequent edits.
