Files

The Files tab enables you to view and insert links to files associated with components.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can search on equipment ID, part ID/suffix, PM program class, SLA equipment category, assigned repair location ID, and operator ID/name, among other values. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all.
Note: Filtering data based on fuel/fluid type uses the information in the Supported fuel/fluid types screen group on the Codes tab.

The Primary Information screen supports department-level and location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.

Detail View Header

The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.

Equipment ID

Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box. The equipment unit year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID.

When you insert a component with an asset category that supports automatic numbering and this field is blank, the system generates an equipment ID that follows the format specified in the Custom ID structure field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen. If the asset category does not support automatic numbering, the equipment ID is based on either part/location settings or system settings. If you specify an ID and the component’s asset category supports automatic numbering, the ID is not overwritten.

Whether an asset category supports automatic numbering is specified on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen.
