Default sharing
In the service book, under Default sharing, you set what new links are pre-set to:
- Frame number: hidden, masked (last digits only) or full.
- Share components: whether the list of installed parts is visible.
- Share photo: whether the bike photo is included.
Purchase price, purchase date and dealer are never shared. Existing links do not change when you change the defaults.
Creating a link
- Tap Share in the service book.
- Check Include components, Include bike photo and Share frame number. For the frame number you can choose Full instead of masked.
- Choose the validity: 7 days, 30 days or unlimited.
- Velopit creates the link to the service book. Copy it and send it by message or email.
Whoever opens the link sees the service book in the browser, without an account and without the app. With Recipient preview you check beforehand exactly what is visible.
Managing links
Under active links you see every share with its expiry date. You can revoke any link. Afterwards it leads nowhere, even if someone already has it.
As PDF
For paper or an email attachment there is Export in the service book.
- Choose which bike details go into the file and whether the components are included. Workshop advice only goes in with its own tick.
- Tap Create PDF. Velopit builds the file on your device, with page numbers and in the language of the app.
- Save the finished file.
On a computer you download the file with Save PDF. On a phone Share PDF opens the share menu. If it offers no way to save, use Download instead.
The PDF shows the frame number in full. Untick Frame number if it should not be in the file. You untick purchase date, dealer and purchase price the same way.
Tip: For a sale, a link with 30 days and a masked frame number is enough. The buyer gets the full number at purchase, not before.
