Dependents Grid

The Dependents grid allows you to link auxiliary equipment to the current equipment record.  For example, you may have a pump installed in a pump station.  Once an equipment record is created for each, you can list the pump as a dependent in the pump station record.  Then the pump station is automatically listed as a "parent" in the pump's equipment record.  This allows you to view the pump station's equipment ID number and description from the pump's record and vice versa.  

Note: The same piece of equipment can be attached to multiple records.

To log a piece of dependent equipment, complete the following steps:

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

   

2. Enter the Equipment ID number for the piece of equipment you wish to list as a dependent.
3. Click to save the record.
4. Click to escape Add Mode.
5. Click to close the window.

To view, edit, or delete dependent equipment, Right-click on the record and select View Record, Edit Record, or Delete Record.

Note: The Parent's operating status affects the status of the dependent. For example, if a parent's status is out of service, all dependents' statuses will also be out of service. For additional information on this relationship, refer to the Example.
