Yard Moves |
The Yard Moves screen enables you to track equipment moves within the yard. Changes in current location are tracked on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Components -> Assignment History screen. All yards are visible to users, but the yard must be listed as a supported location on the Locations tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Tasks -> Primary Information screen in order for a user to be able to perform moves.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on move ID, date and time entered, starting/ending yard location ID, and employee ID, among other values.
