Logs and records

Everything about writing the history down.

• The three ways to add an entry

  Scan a document, write the entry yourself, or type one sentence as quick entry. All three end up as the same kind of record.

• Record types and statuses

  Every entry has a type — Service, Modification or Parts — and a status: Logged, Planned or Suggested.

• Editing, re-dating and deleting an entry

  Use the pencil menu on any entry. You can edit everything, change only the date, or delete it.

• Selling a part

  A part sale is logged like any other entry, with the buyer, amount and date, and it counts against your running costs.

• Oil and fluids

  Oil, brake fluid, coolant and gearbox oil are logged as service entries, with the product and quantity where you know them.

• Attachments: invoices, photos and PDFs

  Any entry can carry files. Attachments are private by default — visitors to a public car see that a record exists, not your paperwork.

• Importing history from a spreadsheet

  If you already keep a list in Excel or Numbers, import it in one go. You review which column is what before anything is saved.

• How current mileage is worked out

  Between your own readings, Elferlog estimates today's mileage from your average daily distance over the last two years.
