Overview
Use repair types in Gearbox to categorise repairs quickly and easily. There are two options for adding repair types: manually through Gearbox settings or using our 'On the Fly' option. 'On the Fly' allows you to add repair types while entering a repair, so you don't need to leave the repair order to add a new repair type in settings.
If “Settings” is not visible in your menu, contact your system administrator to request access.
