Reminder: Improvements to Technical Information Titles
in ElsaPro
Today you will see changes to a couple links and folder names related to the Technical Service
Handbook section of Elsa. These changes were made in response to technician feedback to help
clarify where certain content can be found. Here is a quick list of the changes:


On the home page of Elsa, the Systems menu link “Notes” is renamed “Special Repair
Information”.



The folder titled “Vehicle-specific service information” is retitled “Special Repair
Information”.



The “Technical Product Information” folder, which contains the Technical Bulletins, will
be properly retitled “Technical Service Bulletins”.



The “Service TPI” folder will be retitled “Technical Product Information”.

A complete document, with images can be found on ServiceNet under Technician
