Availability

This tab allows you to view and document when a piece of equipment will be unavailable.  For instance, if the equipment piece is scheduled for preventative maintenance on a certain date, you can log the date in this grid.  Additionally, this tab interacts with the Work Order module and alerts you if you assign a work order to an unavailable item of equipment or one that is already scheduled for another task on the same day.
