Methods and systems for taxonomy assist at data entry points

A system comprising:

• a user interface including a display;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a first vehicle identifier associated with a particular vehicle, wherein the first vehicle identifier includes a first vehicle model year, a first vehicle make, and a first vehicle model name;
• displaying, by the display, a vehicle identifier field showing the vehicle identifier;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a first text entry entered within a text field displayed by the display;
• determining, by the at least one processor, one or more complete-text terms, wherein each of the one or more complete-text terms begins with the first text entry and is indicative of a component installed on the particular vehicle, a symptom exhibited by the particular vehicle, a component that failed on the particular vehicle, a test performed on the particular vehicle, or a labor operation performed on the particular vehicle, and wherein each of the one or more complete-text terms includes at least one more text character than the first text entry;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a complete-text term selection-limiter including a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) set in the particular vehicle, wherein determining each complete-text term of the one or more complete-text terms is conditioned on the complete-text term selection-limiter;
• displaying, by the display, the one or more complete-text terms prior to selection of a first complete-text term from among the one or more complete-text terms;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a selection of the first complete-text term from among the one or more complete-text terms displayed by the display;
• and
• displaying, by the display, the first complete-text term within the text field.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions, that when executed by at least one processor, cause a set of functions to be performed, the set of functions comprising:

• receiving, by the at least one processor, a first vehicle identifier associated with a particular vehicle, wherein the first vehicle identifier includes a first vehicle model year, a first vehicle make, and a first vehicle model name;
• displaying, by a display, a vehicle identifier field showing the vehicle identifier;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a first text entry entered within a text field displayed by the display;
• determining, by the at least one processor, one or more complete-text terms, wherein each of the one or more complete-text terms begins with the first text entry and is indicative of a component installed on the particular vehicle, a symptom exhibited by the particular vehicle, a component that failed on the particular vehicle, a test performed on the particular vehicle, or a labor operation performed on the particular vehicle, and wherein each of the one or more complete-text terms includes at least one more text character than the first text entry;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a complete-text term selection-limiter including a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) set in the particular vehicle, wherein determining each complete-text term of the one or more complete-text terms is conditioned on the complete-text term selection-limiter;
• displaying, by the display, the one or more complete-text terms prior to selection of a first complete-text term from among the one or more complete-text terms;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, a selection of the first complete-text term from among the one or more complete-text terms displayed by the display;
• and
• displaying, by the display, the first complete-text term within the text field.
