Equipment Availability |
The Equipment Availability screen enables you to view and analyze availability information for service level agreements (SLAs). You can see how your availability compares to your requirements on multiple SLAs.
You can filter on a combination of department ID, availability location ID, and SLA equipment category. You must specify an SLA equipment category, or use % to view all equipment categories. You may also use wildcards (%) in the filter to retrieve information for multiple SLAs at one time.
If your SLAs are defined by location, you must specify an availability location ID (or use % to view all locations)
If your SLAs are defined by department, you must specify a department ID (or use % to view all departments)
If your SLAs are defined by a combination of location and department, you must specify both a department ID and location ID
Tip: To retain the data for historical reporting purposes, such as reporting whether enough equipment units were available for pullout on any given day, place a check in the Retain snapshot data for historical reporting checkbox in the filter before clicking Get Data. The data returned is saved in _HIST tables for subsequent reporting. The default is to not retain snapshot data. A grayed-out checkbox is neither checked nor unchecked. You must explicitly check the checkbox field to retain snapshot data.
Note: A configurable MAXQueue adapter will be made available to automatically perform this action on a scheduled basis.
This screen supports department-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
