-====== How do I Put Vehicles in a Lot ======
-Assuming your pricing structures for your lot(s) have been entered previously in Ranger, you can begin choosing your lot(s) as a destination from the dispatch screen, or manually enter your existing vehicle inventory, including dates/times admitted to the lot.  Ranger automatically calculates storage/impound fees the same way it calculates a tow job.
+====== How do I Get Vehicles into a Lot? ======
-Open the Inventory pane from the Lot Management left navigation pane by right clicking on "Inventory."
+Go to Lot Management:  {{:support:07_storage-impound:inventory.png|}}
-**PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR SCREEN IS TOO NARROW, THE {{:support:07_storage-impound:lot_new_job.png|+NEW JOB}} BUTTON AND OTHER FUNCTIONAL BUTTONS MAY NOT BE VISIBLE.  If you don't see the {{:support:07_storage-impound:lot_new_job.png|+New Job}} button in the image below, you may need to widen this window (and the Lot Management window on your computer) to see these buttons.**

+  - From Dispatch Direct, choose a lot as a destination from the drop down menu, or
