New Monthly Eligibility List function

NOTICE: THIS IS NOT FOR CORPORATE ACCOUNTS!  This function is for individual and business upgrades ONLY - Eligibility data for CORPORATE accounts is only available on ISC that will produce a “Full Worksheet”

 

This new Eligibility List function is designed to enhance the “Run Account Group” function. The Run Account Group function is still available - a Full Worksheet is required for Corporate, Government, and some other account types.

 

The New Eligibility List function will obtain current upgrade eligibility status for 1000’s of units at a time – an automatic goldmine for dealers. There is almost NO TIME INVESTMENT to obtain current eligibility status for large lists of units. Just start it and it runs through all units. It will run the complete lead list in a single function. A single spreadsheet is created listing all units with updated eligibility information. Corporate unit data will be skipped by default.

           

            SPECIAL NOTES:

·      This procedure runs in the background so the machine is available for other use.

·      This procedure is available for use 24 hours a day and can be started at night just before closing.

·      No web site logins or image text entry required.

·      This procedure will function in a machine without a certificate.

Dealing with lookup site errors & using the "GET LAST" button

 

For most web site errors, the Wizard will automatically navigate around the error, dismissing warning pop-ups and continuing to look up units.

 

For major site errors, the Wizard will automatically recover; saving the units looked up so far.  It will navigate back to the 'Image Text'. You can input the image text and continue to run the remaining units.

 

For total shutdown of the Wizard, the Wizard will save the units looked-up so far.  You can then re-start the Wizard and instruct it on which unit to re-start at.

If 49 units were looked up of 100, you can re-start the Wizard to lookup units 50 ~ 100. See complete instructions below.
