The Pumps tab has two grids: Pump Locations grid and Location History grid. These grids track which pumps are currently installed in the pump station, and changes in pump installation.
Pump Locations Grid
This grid allows users to document the locations in the pump station where a pump can be housed. Each slot represents one pump location. Once a slot is documented, users can use that slot record to install a pump, uninstall a pump, replace one pump with another, or create a pump inspection record. They can also jump directly to the Pump record in the Pump Inventory module.
A sample of the grid appears below. Sort records in the grid by clicking on the headings. An up or down arrow (highlighted in orange below) will appear signifying ascending or descending order.
