Status of Other Departments |
The Status of Other Departments tab displays information about other departments’ requirements for equipment units and the status and availability of equipment units assigned to them, during the number of future requirements periods specified for the currently displayed SLA. (See the number of future requirements periods to consider in sharing equipment on the Requirements Periods tab on the Data -> Equipment Management -> Service Level Agreements -> Primary Information screen.)
To view information on this screen, you must specify a department ID, SLA equipment category, and status query type (ALL, SHORTAGE ONLY, or SURPLUS ONLY) in the filter.
This tab is useful when an equipment shortage requires management to consider equipment sharing with other departments. When a department has an excess of equipment units, other departments can borrow the units. The display includes all other departments that have a current SLA for the equipment category covered by the currently displayed SLA.
The Equipment Status screen supports department-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
Tip: For a list of keys to use instead of the mouse, see Keyboard Guide.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
