When
a workorder is being created in Claire (through your DMS or directly in
Claire), this feature will automatically synchronise the information about the
tires, making the tire element question accurate and easily update information
on which set of tires is now mounted on the car and which one would be
stored.

DBB Button
On
the workorder details page, you will find a DBB Button in the upper left corner
of the page as indicated bellow.
Mini portal
By
clicking on the DBB Button, the mini portal will open. From that system you can
manage the contract of this car, the tires known, appointments to retrieve tire
set, print labels to return them, etc.
Status
The
color displayed on the DBB button will show you the current status of the
DBB appointment.
Here are their meanings of the 4
possible colors:
Green
An
appointment to retrieve the storage tires has been made, is effective (today or
past already). From this point, if a mechanic complete a checklist that
contains a tire element question, it will update DBB with the new data (
profiles, status, set on the car and storage, etc).
Orange
An
appointment to retrieve the storage tires has been made but is not effective
yet (still in the future). From this point, if a mechanic complete a checklist
that contains a tire element question, only the new profiles will be updated in
DBB, and you will have to confirm manually which tire set is on the car through
the DBB mini portal.
Red

appointment was scheduled yet. From this point, if a mechanic complete a
checklist that contains a tire element question, only the new profiles will be

White
No
known tires for this vehicle was found in DBB. Tire data will not be pushed to
DBB.
Refresh
As
previously mentioned, when an appointment is created in Claire, we ask DBB
which information they have for this car. The refresh button is there to ask
again, if you need to update the appointment date or tires information. Please
note that only newer tires information will be saved in Claire. If we have more
recent information for the tires than DBB, they will be ignored.
It will inquire about the following:
- Is there a contract?
- Is there known tire information?
- Is there new tire information?
If
yes, the info will be updated in Claire.
Moreover,
the the status of the DBB appointment will be updated accordingly.

On
the main board and inside the DBB button , for workorder connected to a DBB

colors:
Green tire
An
appointment to retrieve the storage tires has been made, is effective (today or
past already).
Orange tire
An
appointment to retrieve the storage tires has been made but is not effective yet
(still in the future), or the car check has been done but the swap did not
happen yet.

DBB, therefore no further action is required.
Orange tire with check mark

the delivery of the stored tires
Prior
to the workorder scheduled date, you must create an appointment in DBB in order
to get the tires in their storage delivered.
Step 1

information on the related vehicle in Direct-Access, click Afspraak.
Step 4

Mounting
the stored tires
1. Perform
the Tires questions
Similar
to other standard questions, the tires question must be included in a
checklist/control in order for mechanics to perform on their tablet. The
checklist needs to be done before any replacement/swap. It should be
seen as the diagnose of the current status of tires before any activities are
done on it. It retains the same behaviour as standard questions (for example:
status must be selected and pictures or videos can be added).
Tires question screen
Tires expanded details screen
The
above screen can be pre-filled by a previous appointment or by a third party
such as DBB. If not:
When
no season is selected, you have access to all references in the dropdown. You
can either select a season to list tires for that season or select a reference
to have the season automatically selected. If a season filter is selected you
can press it again to deselect it.
Selection
of the profile automatically changes the status, which can also be changed
manually (for example: in order to skip the diagnose of tires in storage,
simply use X button).
Note
that by completing any LEFT tires, the RIGHT tires will be automatically be
pre-filled with the same value. Moreover after selecting FRONT tires value you
will be able to copy its value to the REAR tires using the button indicated
below:
If you do not find the reference you are looking for
in the dropdown you can enter manually a reference by pressing the + button.
Keep in mind that this manually entered reference will not be added to the list
nor pushed to the third party service such as DBB. Our support team will take
over adding this reference and might contact you for additional information.
2.
Swap tires
Once
the appointment is indicated as Customer OK, you can access swap tire option by
using the button indicated below in the Car Overview screen.
However,
the following reminder will appear when mechanic clicks the End Car
Final Check button.
Note: No matter what you
answer in the reminder pop-up you will always be able to open the swap tire
screen again using this button in the Car Overview screen.
Swap tires screen:
Click
the first green button to swap front and rear tires.
If
needed, click the second green button to swap On car and In Storage.
Once swap is confirmed, information will be pushed to
DBB.
Sending

the appointment detail page, you will see a Print button on the right side of
its header. Once clicked, it will display the DBB print label in a print ready
