Fluid Resources

A Work Order Task can include a list of fluids (e.g., water, chemical additives, diesel fuel) used to complete the task. These records, which are referred to as Fluid Resources, are used to collect cost data related to the task.

An agency can choose to link Fluids records to corresponding records in Lucity's Warehouse > Parts Inventory module. Through this relationship:

 

Fluids Grid

A Work Order Task's Fluids grid lists liquid substances associated with that work activity. If the corresponding Task Setup record lists default Fluids for the activity, the system automatically adds those items to the Task's Fluid grid whenever the Task is included on a Work Order.

Fluid Record Fields

Resource*

Serves as the user-defined, unique ID for the fluid.

  • The list of Fluid Resources comes from the Work > Administration > Work Flow Setup > Fluid Setup module.
  • By default, this picklist displays Fluids associated with the Work Order's Category. You may, however, opt to Show All records.
    • If you have the Ability to Associate permission, a prompt appears when you close the record asking if you would like to associate the selected Fluid with the Work Order Category.
  • If the Work Order includes Fleet or Equipment assets, users also have the option to show Linked Fluids in the Fluid Resource pick-list.
    • When enabled, the system looks at the Work Order Asset's inventory record to determine whether it has related records in its Components > Subcomponent grid.
    • Only Fluids in the asset's Subcomponent grid are displayed in the Resource list.

 

Alt Description

UPC Code

Displays the bar code associated with the fluid.

If the Fluid Setup record is linked to a Parts Inventory record and a user enters the part record's bar code into this field the Resource field will automatically be populated with the Fluid's id.
