Equipment Status Grid

The Equipment Status Tracking grid allows you to log the status or availability of the equipment piece.  For example, a hoist might be in the shop for repairs.  You can then create a status record logging the date and time of the repairs.  Additionally, anytime the equipment's status is changed in the header, the system automatically adds a new record to this grid.

To log equipment status, complete the following steps:

1. Right click in the Equipment Status grid and select Add Record.  The following window will appear:

   

2. Select the status from the pick list.
3. Enter the date, units since failure, and time.  

   Note:  When you enter a value in the Units Since Failure field, the system will sum these values and divide them by a count of all records where the value is greater than 0.  This will provide the average or mean.  This will be entered in the MTBF field in the Tracking grid.  By pressing F5, you can recalculate this value.

4. Click to save the record.
5. Click to escape Add Mode.
6. Click to close the window.

To view, edit, or delete equipment status, right click on the record and select View Record, Edit Record, or Delete Record.
