Details: Tool Module
The Details tab displays key information about the record.
The following fields are displayed on the Tool Details page:
-
ID/Name: Identifying fields for the tool record. The Tool ID field is used to uniquely identify the record. The Name field is typically more descriptive and does not need to be unique. The Tool ID and Name fields are both displayed in the Tools List.
-
Category: Field used to identify the category for the tool. The category is especially useful for allowing tool records to be filtered in lookups.
-
Comments: A field that can be used to enter additional comments about the record. The View/Edit Text button
at the top-right of the field can be used to open a larger editing area. -
Status: A check box used to specify if the tool record is active. Clear this check box if the record is inactive, to ensure that the record does not show up in Tool lookups. The tool record continues to be available in the Tool module list.
-
Track as Asset(s): High value tools can be tracked as assets, allowing them to be maintained and tracked like any other asset. Selecting the Track as Asset(s) check box creates asset records that correspond to the specified on-hand tool room quantities. Refer to the Tools Tracked as Assets section for more information.
