The Equipment Setup module allows agencies to create a record for each piece of equipment (e.g., sprayer, trailer, magnetic locator, etc.) that it uses to complete its work. This information is then carried over to any Work Orders or PMs/Templates that list the Equipment as a Resource.
Equipment setup records can also be linked back to Equipment Inventory records.
Common Tasks
To access the Equipment Setup module, select Work > Administration > Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup.
In the Work > Administration > Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup module, open the Equipment record that you want to deactivate.
Uncheck the Active Equipment box to indicate the Equipment is no longer active in the Work program.
Change the Equipment Status, if desired.
Click the button to save the record. The item will no longer appear in the Equipment pick-list on new Work Orders, PMs or Templates.
Important Final Step: Check PMs, Crew Setup, and Task Setup records for this Equipment and remove it where found. This step ensures that the system does not attempt to use the inactive Equipment when creating work orders.
Warnings
Lucity will not generate a PM that includes a piece of Equipment that has either been deactivated or deleted from a Work Flow Setup module.
Users can delete a piece Equipment from a Work Flow Setup module. Doing so does not affect existing data (i.e., the deleted Equipment still appears in existing PMs and existing Work Orders (completed or incomplete).
Open the Work > Administration > Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup module.
Click the button to expand the Equipment record to which you want to add an Availability record.
Select the Availability grid and click the button. The Equipment Availability form appears.
Select the Status (e.g., Unavailable-Maintenance, Unavailable-Out of Service, etc.) from the pick-list (required).
Check the All Day field if the equipment will be out the entire day.
Enter the Reason for its unavailability (e.g., OSHA training, vacation, short-term disability, etc.).
Record the Start Date and End Date for the scheduled period of unavailability.
Click the button to save the record. The new Availability record now appears in the grid. Should a user attempt to add the Equipment as a Resource on a Work Order, the system will notify the user of the conflict.
