Equipment List Overview
The Equipment List provides easy access to all units added to the system. Users can search and filter the list, manage equipment by adding or editing details, and quickly generate new records for tasks like repair requests or work orders.
To access the equipment list, click on "Equipment" in the side menu.
Click the folder icon to view a list of locations and categories.
The down arrow to the right of the location name will reveal the category list.

Utilize the search box on the top right to quickly locate any assets.
The blue arrow will expand the selection and tasks that are due will display.
The Actions Gear provides quick access to adding a new record for the unit, such as a repair request or work order.
Adding New Equipment
To add new equipment, click the universal plus sign at the top.
The New Equipment screen contains a variety of information fields to complete.
The Unit #: Two pieces of equipment are not allowed to have the same unit #.
Serial #: Entering in the serial number will automatically populate the Year, Make, and Model of the equipment. No two units can have the same serial number.
Anything entered into the Keywords box will create a search tag for the equipment. These 'search tags' make it easier to find the equipment from a list. Entering keywords is optional and not required.
The check box for Equipment has a meter tells the system whether or not an odometer will be tracked. Each piece of equipment can have up to two meter types setup and be choosen from Miles, Kilometers or Hours. If this box is unchecked, the system will not track any meter readings.
Note: the meter types will automatically be configured when choosing a Maintenance Template

On the Edit screen, the data can be modified in any of the boxes.
To assign a picture to the equipment, click the Picture tab on the top. Click Select File to choose a picture to upload.
Deleting Equipment
To delete equipment, click on the equipment name from the Equipment Index to get to the Profile screen. Then, click the gear icon on the top right and choose Delete. Clicking on Delete will display a confirmation box. Click Yes to continue with the delete process.
Note: Once you press OK, the unit will be removed from the Active equipment list. However, the unit will still exist in Maintenance Pro under a Deleted status. This is done as a safe guard so that equipment is not accidentally permanently deleted from the system.
To view equipment with a Deleted status, click the blue filter underneath the Equipment heading and choose Deleted.
Previous units can be reviewed here, along with the option to completely destroy the unit or recover it.
Note: there is no undo button for this. You will be presented with an additional confirmation, making sure you really want to remove the equipment completely.
