FUNCTION ACTION

Use General Stores

'General Stores' allows tracking equipment into a storeroom ID, but does not provide the details of the "rack & bin" location.  Example:

The 'Use General Stores' and 'Use Semi-Anonymous Locations' features allow user to determine if 'General Stores' or 'Anonymous Locations' is displayed in the Location Tree.

Use Semi-Anonymous Locations

This feature allows the user to set up a single 'unit' level area into which equipment may be installed.  Example:

Max Number of Matches in Equipment Search & Max Number of Items in Equipment Handling

The 'Max Number of Matches' in 'Equipment Search' and 'Max Number of Items' in 'Equipment Listing' features allow users to limit or expand the number of items returned from an equipment or equipment listing search.  It is recommended to keep this number small (500 or less) to prevent long search times.

Allow Installation Period Warranties

The 'Allow Installation Period Warranties' allows the user to set up the database to start the warranty the day the equipment is installed.  Alternatively, the warranty begins the day the equipment is repaired.

Default Usage Class

The 'Default Usage Class' consists of a group of faults linked to a particular "usage class".  This feature allows the user to set their "baseline" equipment fault list by selecting the default class.  The same usage class list should be available in all databases for a particular customer.  Using the same default usage class list helps maintain consistency across all customer databases.  If usage class list is not the same in all databases, contact 24/7 Systems.
