I made a mistake writing out the certificate

If you happen to make a mistake while writing up the roadworthy certificate you do not have to re-enter all the information into the program.  You just need to set the inspections outcome to mistake and then copy the inspection to a new inspection.

  1. Locate your inspection in the list and bring up the inspection details
  2. Switch the outcome of the first inspection to ‘Mistake’ and click OK.
  3. Locate the inspection in the list and right click and select ‘New Inspection from Selected’.  This will copy all the information from that inspection and create an inspection with a new certificate number.

How do I backup my inspection data?

You have two options to backup your data.  The first is to close Roadworthy Logbook and then browse to your ‘My Documents’ folder.  Here you will find another folder called ‘Roadworthy Logbook’.  If you copy this entire folder to another location such as an external drive or USB stick, you will have a full backup of your inspection data and photos.

From v2 you can now do this directly from within Roadworthy Logbook:

  1. Open Roadworthy Logbook.  Click File | Backup.

  2. Select a folder to store the backup in.  Eg. an USB drive.

  3. Click ‘Make New Folder’ to give the backup it’s own folder.  If you have previously backed up your inspections select the previous backup folder.
  4. Click OK to start the backup.

Where are my photos stored?

Importing photos into inspections copies the photos to the ‘Roadworthy Logbook’ folder within ‘My Documents’.  The photos are then stored into separate folders by date and then are named with the roadworthy certificate number.  This allows you to locate images from a certain roadworthy even without using Roadworthy Logbook.

What happens if my camera doesn’t have the date/time

In the case where the date/time hasn’t been stored in your image it will fall back to using the windows time the photo was created.  If this then fails it will fall back to the date of the inspection.  This allows Roadworthy Logbook to always include the date information on the image.
