Bulk Upload#

Bulk upload starts by selecting a Device Type. If no vehicle types exist, a title and message are displayed. A "Go back" link returns to the vehicle list. The upload follows a multi-step wizard process.

Assignment Modal#

The Assign Modal shows a title, the count of selected vehicles, a loading state while fetching users, a searchable user dropdown, and handles the 'no users available' state gracefully.

Delete Confirmations#

  • Single delete — confirmation dialog for one vehicle
  • Bulk delete — confirmation dialog showing the count of selected vehicles
