This is fantastic, thanks so much @Angel! It’s really interesting to understand more about how the Repair Monitor works. It’s great to see it allows people to record lots of data.
From what you’ve posted, it looks like one significant difference between the Repair Monitor and Restarters․net (and its Fixometer database) is the ability to use the system for job management; job management hasn’t not really been a priority for us, though it has been discussed. Does the ‘Outstanding repairs’ button list all items that have the status “Half [repaired] and/or advice given”?
In theory, would the following use case be possible…?
- Someone goes to a repair café to fix a broken item. But it needs a spare part
- Their item is assigned a reference number (as in your ‘Adding a new repair 1/2’ screenshot)
- They go back to that Repair Café (or even a different Repair Café) with the spare part and their reference number. The reference number can be used to update the original record.
That would be pretty useful in theory.
It’s interesting to see that there’s no way to record weight or pictures. It also looks like the impact statistics generated focus entirely on repair details (i.e. no environmental impact stats). This appears to be another differentiating factor.
Great to see @Repair_Cafe_Glasgow using the tool 
How have you been finding it Jon & @Lauren_Crilly?
