Equipment Characteristics are used to highlight the equipment being used by a professional to fulfill a service order. Think of them as customizable data fields — they allow organizations to tag equipment relevant to their operations, when a Service Order needs to be scheduled. In the context of preventative maintenance, they offer a practical way to schedule jobs across equipment or assets that remain constant.
Once created, they can be chosen from a field within the Service Order Scheduling module, when scheduling a Service Order.
To create an Equipment Characteristic:
- Navigate to the Equipment Characteristics form.
- Select the Add button from the form header.
- Give the Characteristic a Name and Description.
- Select Save.
