How SNAP helps rental car companies and shuttle operators accomplish fast access to vehicle documentation using searchable report filters and detailed snap views.
Introduction
When you need to find a specific snap—by plate, date, site, or customer—you need more than a list of everything. SNAP’s report search lets you filter snaps by date range, site, license plate, state, and snap type (Rental vs Shuttle). Results appear in a sortable table with optional thumbnails and advanced data. Click a row to open the full snap details.
The report search is the primary way to find historical snaps for dispute resolution, customer service, and audit. Combined with daily reports for the overview, report search gives you the depth you need when you need it.
This guide covers the search filters, result columns, snap details view, and best practices for efficient searching.
Why This Feature Matters — Searchability and Audit Trail
- Speed: Find snaps in seconds instead of scrolling through lists.
- Audit trail: Every snap is searchable by plate, date, site, and type.
- Flexibility: Combine filters to narrow results (e.g., Site A + last 30 days + Rental).

- Client reporting: Pull snap data for specific dates or plates for client reports.
