Temporary mobile portal for valeters

The Valeter Mobile Portal gives valeters a simple phone-first web page while the Android app is being finished.

In this guide Follow the steps below in order. You can return to this page at any time.

What it does

\nThe temporary /valeter portal uses the normal ValetFlow login and database. It lets valeters view My Active Jobs, Available Jobs and Finished Today, open a job, start or finish work, pause or resume a job, log pre-valet condition checks, upload proof photos and send job messages.\n\n

Messages

\nValeters get a phone-friendly Messages tab showing unread job message counts and job threads. Opening a thread takes the valeter back to the correct job sheet, where replies are saved into the same booking_messages history used by the main website.\n\n

Damage map

\nThe mobile job sheet and the main job sheet include a tappable, square vehicle diagram. The user selects a damage type such as dent, scratch, lacquer peel, paint chip, scuff, cracked trim, wheel damage, glass chip, interior mark or other damage, then taps the diagram to place a coloured cross. Damage reporting now focuses on the map and notes rather than separate damage-report photo uploads.\n\n

Why it is temporary

\nThe portal is separate from the main Android app API and is contained in the /valeter folder so it can be disabled or removed later once the Android APK workflow is ready. It is not hardcoded with demo jobs; it reads the same dealership and booking data as the website.\n\n
