Notes |
Note: Non-linear assets do not display on this screen. Use the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.
The Notes tab enables you to record transactional notes about linear assets. You can use this tab to record comments that are time-stamped and cannot be modified. If there are notes associated with the linear asset, this tab displays in the alert color specified on Preferences -> Color Setup.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on equipment ID, model information, class information, segment ID, to/from marker ID, and to/from offset, among other values. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a range, any record that crosses any part of that range will be displayed.
The Primary Information screen supports location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
The field in the top section of this tab defaults from the information entered on the Basic Info tab. The field is read only.
Equipment ID
Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected in the grid. This field has a list box. The equipment unit year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID.
Tip: You can set a zoom button for this field to detect the type of equipment and display the appropriate screen. If you used Administrator Mode to add a zoom button, you will need to use it again to remove your user-defined zoom button for this functionality to work.
Asset type
The type of asset.
The fields in the bottom section of this tab display existing notes and enable you to record new ones. These fields are optional. Once a note has been entered, it may not be changed or deleted.
Notes Text Field
Text field that displays previously entered notes. Includes the creation date and time as well as the user ID of the person who entered the note. This field is display only.
Add a new note
Free-form text field in which you can type notes regarding the linear asset.
