Equipment Types

The Equipment Types section, located under the General section in System, allows users to create predefined equipment types. These types can then be assigned to individual pieces of equipment within the Equipment area.

The Equipment Types area contains a Quick Search which targets all of the columns.

To create a new Equipment Type select ‘+ New’ in the top right corner.

The system directs the user to the Details page to enter a Name, Code & Description.

The Registration Plate checkbox determines whether the selected piece of Equipment includes a Registration field. If this checkbox is selected, the Registration field will be displayed within the equipment record.

To Delete an Equipment Type select the Delete button in the top right corner. The system will only permit the user to delete the Equipment Type if it has not been assigned to a piece of Equipment.

Deleted Equipment Types are displayed in red within the table, making them easy to identify. Deleted Equipment Types are not available for selection elsewhere in the system.

Only Users with the Super User switch enabled in their user record can view deleted Equipment Types in the table.

Super Users can Restore a deleted Equipment Type by selecting the deleted record in the table and clicking the Restore button located in the top-right corner of the screen. Once restored, the Equipment Type will return to its standard table colour and will again be available for selection throughout the system.
